Built in 1905, the building covers a total area of 5862 square meters and a building area of 1496 square meters. It is a French Renaissance-style garden residence. The building emphasizes horizontal lines, uses classical columns, and has rigorous and symmetrical facades, with magnificent decorations. The open-air stone stairs on both sides lead to the second-floor hall. Many details, such as the balcony railings, have the style of the 'New Art Movement', which was popular in Europe at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Because of its color and shape similar to the White House in the United States, it is known as the 'Little White House on the Sea'.
