SUIBARA Torazo shop, built in 1877, has been known as the first ‘Western-Style’ civil architecture in Sapporo. Akihisa ENDO tried to examin this building from an old photograph and historical materials owned by the Archives of Hokkaido. I newly discoverd the general plans of this building at the Archives of Hokkaido and Northern Studies Collection of Hokkaido University Library. I could fine the similarity of details between this building and the buildings built by Kaitakushi or the plates of pattern books published in USA in the 19th century former owned by Kaitakushi, i. e. this building must be designed by the staves, such as Yoshiyuki ADACHI, the chief engineer, of Engineering Department of Kaitakushi. The ‘Western-Style’ architecture, composed of refering pattern books, differs from the ‘Pseudo-Western-Style’ architecture, built by Japanese carpenters who imitate the surferical ‘Western-Style’ architecture.
