Qing dynasty houses in Hangzhou on the city's historic buildings list number 49: timber-framed courtyard houses of one or two storeys, most of them built in the late Qing, before 1912.

## In brief

Traditional houses of the Qing dynasty (1644–1912) on Hangzhou's list are mostly timber-framed courtyard houses of one or two storeys, closed to the street by walls and gateways. They stand in the lanes of the old city, along the canal and the Qiantang River at Xixing and Changhe, and in the towns and villages of Xiaoshan and Yuhang.

**By batch**

| Batch | Announced | Buildings of this type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [First](/first-batch) | 24 May 2004 | 3 |
| [Second](/second-batch) | 1 July 2005 | 1 |
| [Third](/third-batch) | 6 March 2007 | 14 |
| [Fourth](/fourth-batch) | 14 August 2008 | 13 |
| [Fifth](/fifth-batch) | 22 March 2010 | 18 |

## Where they stand

- **The old city**: lanes such as Jinchaidai Alley, Yuanbao Street and Niuyangsi Alley, and [Civilian Residence at 98, Haier Alley](/web/guest/lsjz-content_display/-/asset_publisher/0qkI/content/孩儿巷98号民居), now the Lu You Memorial Hall.
- **South of the Qiantang River**: courtyard houses on Xixing Street at the canal head and in the Changhe area, such as [Yu's Residence at Xixing Road](/web/guest/lsjz-content_display/-/asset_publisher/0qkI/content/西兴街於宅) and [Yongxi Villa](/web/guest/lsjz-content_display/-/asset_publisher/0qkI/content/永锡墙门).
- **Towns and villages**: [Kong's Family Villa](/web/guest/lsjz-content_display/-/asset_publisher/0qkI/content/古城佳话-历史建筑-孔家墙门) at Linpu, which once had more than 200 rooms, [Qing-Dynasty Building at Machetou Village, Jingshan Town, Yuhang District](/web/guest/lsjz-content_display/-/asset_publisher/0qkI/content/径山镇张宅) and the houses at Xiamen Village, Heshang Town, in Xiaoshan.

## What to look for

Behind a plain wall and gateway, rooms stand around one or more small courtyards, with timber frames, carved doors and windows and gable walls between neighbours. [Civilian Residence at 98, Haier Alley](/web/guest/lsjz-content_display/-/asset_publisher/0qkI/content/孩儿巷98号民居) keeps a rarity: upper rear windows glazed with translucent oyster shell, as houses were before glass became common.
