The architectural style of Chen Cifu's former residence is a combination of Chinese and western. The overall pattern is a combination of traditional "Xu Ma Trailer" and western-style houses, with pavilions and cloisters dotted with flyovers, which are like entering a maze and lingering. It is said that the Chen family once had a servant who specialized in opening and closing windows. Every morning, he opens the windows, opens all the windows, and then starts to close them. When all the windows were closed, it was dark.
The building materials of Chen Cifu's former residence gathered the essence of China and foreign countries at that time, including dozens of imported tiles. Nearly a hundred years later, these tiles are still as bright as new, and all kinds of doors and windows are decorated with gray plastic and glass, elegant and gorgeous. Wood carving and stone carving are mainly flowers and birds and auspicious birds, expressing good wishes of auspiciousness, jubilation and wealth; In addition, the calligraphy and stone carvings in the former residence were all written by famous artists at that time, and they were "movable copybooks" written by many famous calligraphers. ? The owner of the good house is Li Tong, Chen Cifu's youngest son. Because he died early, this building was basically supervised by his little wife. All kinds of legends about "Little Daughter-in-law" and the process of building this palace-style house have added magical colors to the former residence.
