Located at No. 47 Desheng Street, the building covers a construction area of approximately 865 square meters and a land area of about 2,400 square meters. It is the best-preserved residential building in the city featuring architectural characteristics of the Qing Dynasty. The structure was built in the early period of the puppet state of Manchukuo and served as the private residence of Wang Baichuan, a wealthy businessman from Jilin who once served as the general manager of the Yongheng Official Bank and Mint. The residence follows a traditional two-courtyard quadrangle layout, entirely constructed with brick and stone, finely built, and adorned with carved beams and painted rafters. It reflects the high level of design and craftsmanship of the time.
