The former residence of Liu Jingji was built in 1928. It is a British country villa-style garden residence. It was originally the residence of the taipan of British firm Calbeck Macgregor. After the 1980s, Liu Jingji (1902-1997), vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference for the sixth, seventh, and eighth terms, lived here intermittently. This is a typical British country villa-style garden style. The exterior wall is half exposed. It is a dark red wooden frame. The straight and rough appearance is very eye-catching. There are also small serrated decorative blocks that appear in a continuous strip under the eaves board and serve as moldings. The high red brick fireplace chimney in an aluminum-toothed planar shape belongs to the Gothic style and is very unique. The red tiles have a double steep slope all the way to the second floor. There is also a large four-slope pointed gable dormer window. The white cement roughcast wall surface. The entire building has a slightly L-shaped plan. At the L-shaped concave corner in the south, there is a brick-built open corridor. The exterior is rich in layers. There is a protruding porch in the middle. There is a large balcony on the second floor with hollow railings. Some walls and window cabinets are made of red bricks and corner stones. As it is a private residence, it is not open to the public. The specific business hours and opening status are subject to the opening situation on the day.
