法式文艺复兴建筑式样  Architectural style of French Renaissance 

新古典主义建筑式样  Neoclassical architectural style

I would rather describe 汾阳路的“白公馆” as an example of neoclassical architectural style...with recent modifications and additions.

It reminds me some lyrics of The Pretenders :

"Every drop that run through the vein

Always makes it's way back to the heart again

And by the way you look fantastic

In your boots of Chinese plastic" ;o)

Indeed ... especially according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluency

In the sense of proficiency, "fluency" encompasses a number of related but separable skills:

Reading: the ability to easily read and understand texts written in the language;

Writing: the ability to formulate written texts in the language;

Comprehension: the ability to follow and understand speech in the language;

Speaking: the ability to produce speech in the language and be understood by its speakers.

For a second, I thought it was "comprehensible" instead of "comprehensive" :o)

Actually, in most cultures, it would be much more polite to ask "where can I wash my hands ?" or "洗手间在哪儿?"
