Main Hall of Wei Baoyuan Grain Store [Changbomen Neighborhood Committee, Taishan Subdistrict Office, Pukou District, No. 116 Zuosuo Street (East Gate), Rear Courtyard · Qing Dynasty · District-Level Cultural Relics Protection Unit] This building faces south with a flush-gable roof, spanning four bays (13.5 meters wide) and seven rafters deep (8.8 meters), with a height of 6 meters. It features polished brick flooring and originally had front and rear double corridors. The structure employs a post-and-lintel system with beams carved with the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and floral patterns. The existing Wei Baoyuan Grain Store consists of two courtyards. The first courtyard, facing the street, has been heavily modified. This building is part of the second courtyard and currently serves as public housing for teachers. The original third and fourth courtyards of the grain store were demolished as early as the 1950s, and the site was repurposed as the playground for the former Dongmen Primary School. It was designated as a district-level cultural relics protection unit in 1983.
