The article discusses the consular buildings of Russia that have survived to our time, and later Soviet ones in the city of Harbin in the New Town area (now Nangan), during the first half of the 20th century. This topic has a historical value for Russian architecture, as an architectural heritage outside the state. The location of this type of structures in the city structure is revealed, the techniques and features of their placement were analyzed. During the study, five buildings were found in which the consulate was located, one of which was lost. After analyzing the placement of the consulates, it can be assumed that the choice of buildings was not accidental, the buildings were selected according to a number of characteristic features, such as advantageous location, representative appearance, the presence of their own site, often buildings rented from The Chinese Eastern Railway (CER).
