The three rooms have a clear width of 9.6 meters, a depth of 4 rafters, and 7.
5 meters deep, with beam and column structures made of Fujian fir wood, arranged in a continuous pattern, with each column reaching the ground and a hard mountain peak roof. The perimeter is enclosed by brick walls, with a main gate facing east and a side door at the back. Inside the main gate, there is a small hall paved with stone slabs. Windows are centrally located on both sides of the gable walls, and each room in the back wall also has a window. The main house has three rooms, with the middle room serving as a living room for hosting guests or dining. In 1986, when the policy was implemented, the old residence was returned to Shaw, and the Zhuangshi Town Government renovated the house, added furniture, and received many scroll paintings donated by people from all walks of life. Nowadays, each room displays photos of Mr. Shaw’s visits to his hometown and his philanthropic deeds in education. The residence is now managed by relatives and is open for visitors. The opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00; closed on Mondays throughout the year.Shaw’s Former Residence
