Former Residence of Yang Yide

　　In the early 20th century, Yang Yide purchased over 20 acres of land at what is now Erwei Road and Erma Road in Nankai District, where he built a traditional Chinese courtyard house and a garden villa in the style of classical Chinese architecture, which came to be known as "Yang Family Garden." In 1921, Yang demolished the original courtyard building on Erwei Road in Nankai and rebuilt a three-story building with a basement that combined Chinese and Western architectural elements (currently No. 41, Erwei Road, Nankai District), while transforming the original garden site into a theater. The entire building covers a land area of 1,019.6 square meters, with a floor space of 1,575.6 square meters. It features a brick-and-wood structure, a European-style steeply pitched roof, red bricks and a green roof, with protruding antique exterior eaves. The main entrance is flanked by Ionic columns, with a high central staircase, and the south façade has a two-story outer colonnade. The ground floor houses the living room, dining room, study, and other spaces; the second floor contains bedrooms and storage rooms; and the third floor includes 21 rooms and a spacious terrace. The basement was used to house servants. The residence also included several single-story buildings and a garage.

　　After the liberation, the former residence of Yang Yide was taken over by the Langfang Military Sub-district of the Beijing Military Region. The original garden section was later converted into residential housing. The residence was damaged during the 1976 earthquake and was repaired by the Beijing Military Region in 1983. With the exception of the basement, which was divided into 13 rooms for use as dormitories and offices during the renovation, the rest of the building retained its original appearance.
