The building uses a post-and-lintel construction style, and the main gate is fitted with... a stone door frame, above which the characters “Taishi Mansion” are inscribed. The central hall displays a large golden plaque reading “Ligeng Hall.” On the right side of the central hall hangs a stone rubbing of an imperial edict.
