原名西門堂，1924年落成后為圣約翰附屬中學(xué)高中部校舍。建筑為兩層磚木結(jié)構(gòu)，呈四合院式格局。曾劃歸為華東師范大學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)系使用，1956年歸還華東政法學(xué)院。后改名東風(fēng)樓。

東風(fēng)樓原名西門堂，于1923年歲末奠定隅石，次年12月13日舉行落成典禮，是圣約翰大學(xué)近代建筑中占地面積較大的一幢。

Formerly known as “the Seaman Hall”, the cornerstone of the East-Wind Building was laid at the end of 1923 and was inaugurated on 13 December in the following year. It was one of the larger buildings in the modern architecture of St. John’s University.

建筑為兩層磚木結(jié)構(gòu)，呈四合院式格局。立面主體是青磚，勾勒白線，細(xì)部以紅磚扮飾，色彩分明，整體依舊延續(xù)外廊式風(fēng)格，窗上加弧形拱券，巧妙的搭配使沉重的磚木結(jié)構(gòu)變得輕盈雅致。

The two-storey building, with a brick-and-timber structure, presents a quadrangle-style pattern. The facade is mainly made of grey bricks, sketched with white lines, and decorated with red bricks in distinct colour. The overall style of the building remains that of a veranda, with curved arches on the windows. Such an ingenious combination makes the cumbersome brick-and-timber structure lofty and elegant.

 1925年起，西門堂便為圣約翰附屬中學(xué)高中部校舍。1952年全國高校院系大調(diào)整，圣約翰大學(xué)被撤銷，西門堂劃歸華東師范大學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)系使用，直到1956年才歸還華東政法學(xué)院。后西門堂改名東風(fēng)樓。

Since 1925, the Seaman Hall had been used as a teaching building of St. John’s University’s Affiliated High School. During the large-scale adjustment of universities and departments nationwide in 1952, St. John’s University was closed and the Seaman Hall was transferred to the Department of Mathematics of East China Normal University, and was not returned to East China Institute of Politics and Law until 1956.Years later, the Seaman Hall was renamed the East-Wind Building.
