In the past, Dongji Island had a very prosperous "Little Shanghai" period because it was located on the transshipment route of Taiwan-Penghu maritime trade. During the Japanese occupation, the permanent population was even as high as 2,000 to 3,000 people. Its Western-style house style appeared in the early days of the Japanese occupation. Influenced by Western culture at that time, it maintained the traditional planform of beech wood. Only the main part of the house was added from the original first floor to the second floor. The main structure is a 2-story foreign-style building made of coral reef and TR red bricks. The doors and windows present both Fujian and Japanese styles and styles. The overall appearance is simple and elegant. It is a famous building on the island.
