The house was bought by four overseas Chinese in Canada for Sun Yat-sen in 1918,^[4] after learning that he had no fixed residence and had been paying a monthly rent for his place in Shanghai. He lived there with his wife Soong Ching-ling until 1924, when he moved to Beijing.^[1] After his death, Soong continued to live there until 1937.^[5] There is now an exhibition centre presenting Sun Yat-sen's life, together with some artifacts and a statue of Sun Yat-sen outside.

In 1961, this house was listed as Major cultural heritage sites under national-level protection.^[6]
