Former Sofaer BuildingFormer Sofaer's Buildings

info Commissioned by Isaac A. Sofaer, a Baghdadi Jewish trader, Sofaer's Buildings is a testament to the cosmopolitan nature of Yangon society in the early 20th century.

Completed around 1906, the building was one of the city's finest commercial complexes. Sofaer and his brother, purveyors of fine food and drink from around the world, welcomed international tenants. In the groud-floor corner between Pansodan Street and Merchant Road a specialist shop sold Egyptian smokes. The Reuters news agency had an office here, relaying global news by telegram. Other tenants included the German photographer P.Klier, still famous for his iconic shots of old Myanmar, and the now forgotten Mr. M. D'Cruz, a Filipino hairdresser who first came to Myanmar as part of a travelling circus. Today in poor repair, the building is divided between a wide variety of tenants: Photocopy shops tucked beneath the stairwells, the Internal Revenue Department, a lawyer's practice, the Lokanat Art Gallery on the first floor( worth a visit), a corridor teashop, and, beneath the small dome on the roof, a tailor.
