The Tonkin Palace, now the Government Guest House, is a two-story house at 12 Ngo Quyen Street, Trang Tien Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi. This used to be the headquarters of the Tonkin government, and is a historical relic of Vietnam.

History
During the French colonial period, this building was the Palace of the North Vietnamese Ambassador.

After the Japanese coup d'etat against France (March 9, 1945), the building was changed to Phu Kham sai Tonkin.

During the August Revolution, the day of the general uprising in Hanoi (August 19, 1945), Viet Minh forces and Hanoi people attacked and occupied this building.

After the August Revolution in 1945, President Ho Chi Minh and the Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam returned to work here until the National Resistance Day.[1] During this time, the building was renamed Bac Bo Phu.

At the beginning of the National Resistance, on December 20, 1946, a battle broke out here between a company of the National Guard defending the Tonkin government and the French with tanks supporting them. This was the fiercest and longest battle in the early days of the Indochina War. After 6 waves of attacks were repelled, 122 casualties of legionnaires, losses of 4 tanks and armor, 3 trucks, the assault force captured the building. The number of soldiers of the National Guard died in battle was 45 people.[2]

At the end of the Indochina War (1954), the Tonkin Palace was remodeled and became the Government Guest House.

In 2005, the North was covered with a signboard of revolutionary historical relic.

︎ In the past: Indochina University Institute
︎ This day: Department of Chemistry - Hanoi University of Science (https://www.chemvnu.edu.vn)
︎ Address: No. 19 Le Thanh Tong Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi
The first work in the style of Indochina Architecture built in Hanoi by architect E.Hébrard designed in 1924 is the main building of the Indochina University area that was formed earlier. Located at the location of a large boulevard at that time - Boulevard Carreau (today's Ly Thuong Kiet Street), there was a small flower garden in the front, creating a prominent urban highlight.
According to the original design, this is a neoclassical building with a completely opposite architectural block structure, orthodox space plan, emphasizing the central lobby block, the two sides are the lecture hall. large and the library is arranged on two floors.
However, during the construction process, Hébrard changed almost completely the form of the facade by introducing many Asian architectural components.
The highlight for the central block is a set of multi-layer tiled roofs in the form of an octagon, between the layers of roofs are small decorative doors next to rows of painted roof supports in the ancient Chinese style. The tile roof set is also used as a vertical finish on the two wings, in the foyer behind the house. The windows are also covered by tiled diagonal slats.
The door system of the building is also paid great attention by the architect - author. The main entrance door is an arched door with a height equivalent to two floors decorated with glass and metal in the Art Nouveau style, which not only beautifies the building when viewed from the outside but also increases the aesthetics of the building. lobby area when viewed from the inside out.

The arched expansion windows on the 1st floor are grouped into two rectangular windows on the 2nd floor and the small doors on the roof of the lobby create a variation but still have a high degree of unity.
Oriental decorative motifs are widely used, the facade of the building is decorated with seal and octagonal patterns that are very common in the architecture of ancient Vietnamese temples and pagodas, these shapes are also repeated on The roof frills accentuate the locality of the building.

Referring to Indochina University, we cannot ignore the interior of the building. If the outside of the building has an Asian look, the interior is mainly in the spirit of the European academy. The main hall is covered by a set of double-layered arches with columns, neoclassical motifs.
The large and airy spaces were typical of the great universities in France at that time. Especially in the main lecture hall, there is the largest mural in Vietnam by painter Victor Tardieu, depicting the life of Hanoians in the early 20th century with the presence of 200 characters representing the society at that time. hour.
The Indochina University project can be considered as E. Hébrard's first experiment in a combined style, so there is still a lack of compatibility between the interior and the exterior of the building.

However, with the standard organized block in the classical spirit combined with the decorative forms of the facade in the spirit of East Asia, the main building of Indochina University can be considered as a pioneer work of the School of Architecture. Indochina architecture, an initial successful combination between architecture in particular and Eastern and Western culture in general in Hanoi
