It is a typical three-section street house. Later, when Yanping Street was widened, the front section was demolished, leaving only the central ridge of the front section and the middle and rear sections. Inside, there are mezzanines and coral stone partition walls. In the patio between the middle and rear sections, there is a very prominent "Baoji" spirit screen, built with 42-centimeter-thick red bricks, about four meters high and 1.5 meters wide. The spirit screen is adorned with the Bagua symbol with the characters "Baoji," and above it are sun, moon, and cloud decorations. Four bats surround the four corners, making it the most distinctive feature of this building.
