Former Site of the Shuicheng County Military Service Bureau

      Situated at No. 204–210 Minzhu Road in the old town area, this is a late Qing Dynasty structure that was originally the home of Lu Zigao. In 1950, it came under the ownership of the county finance department and was converted into the office of the county military service bureau. The building’s layout consists of a street-facing gate, a west wing room, and a main house. The west wing has a flush-gable roof with a post-and-lintel wooden structure, featuring a front porch that connects to the porch of the main house. It is four bays wide (12.3 meters) and 7.44 meters deep, with two stories and an eave height of 5.45 meters. The main house has a hip-and-gable roof with a post-and-lintel wooden structure, spanning five bays (14.28 meters) in width and 10.8 meters in depth, also with an eave height of 5.45 meters and featuring a porch. Opposite the west wing room is a building from the 1950s, constructed with a mixed brick-and-wood structure, covering a floor area of 64.7 square meters. The overall layout forms a courtyard-style compound. The main house is quite deteriorated, with the second floor no longer habitable, while the west wing room is relatively well-preserved. Currently, seven households reside inside.
