　　The former residence of Wang Zhongshan is located at No. 21 Nanjing Road, Hexi District. The house is a German-style garden villa, with a construction area of 2,480 square meters. It is a two-story brick-and-wood structure with a half-basement, and has an approximately rectangular floor plan, surrounded by trees and plants in the courtyard. The main façade features a high entrance stairway of sixteen steps at the ground floor level, with a marble finish and a curved porch supported by double columns. Upon entering the foyer, you reach the main hall, with a living room and study on one side, as well as a dining room, kitchen, and others. Each room is equipped with small octagonal bay windows or arched windows, which add variety to the façade and form polygonal turrets at the corners. The main hall has wooden and glass partitions, and through the partition doors, a grand staircase leads to the second floor. The second floor includes a hall, bedrooms, and a terrace. The bedrooms are interconnected, and each has a corridor along the windows. The third floor is unused, with exposed wooden beams, and serves as a storage area. The building features a steeply pitched roof covered with pantile tiles, showcasing German architectural style. The garden villa of Wang Zhongshan blends Chinese and Western elements, offering a unique style. This former residence is currently used by the Tianjin Coal Construction Company and is listed as a protected cultural heritage site of Tianjin.
