Shi Fuliang (1899–1970), originally named Shi Cuntong, was from Jinhua. He was an early revolutionary activist in the Chinese Communist Party. In June 1920, he joined the Shanghai Communist Group, and in July, he became the head of the CCP group in Japan. Shi Guangnan (1940–1990) was the son of Shi Fuliang. He was a renowned contemporary Chinese composer, having created a vast body of musical works throughout his life, and is honored as the People’s Musician and the Singer of the Era.

The residence faces south and has a rectangular floor plan. The main structure consists of a five-bay hall building with stairwells on either side, flanked by one wing room on each side, forming a three-sided courtyard. Four additional rooms are attached to the sides. The site covers an area of 315 square meters. The residence is well-preserved and serves as important physical evidence for studying how the Shi father and son grew from ordinary farming families to become notable figures of their time.
