A red brick Western-style mansion built around 1919 for Chen Zhenfa (陳貞法), a baozheng (保正), or official of the hokō (保甲) system of community policing, and rice merchant. The inscription on the central gable reads Yingchuan Chen (穎川陳), an allusion to the historic Yingchuan Commandery in China, alongside taishō 8 (大正八年), confirming the construction date. Artisans and building materials were brought from Fujian, and the project took three years to complete. The façade features Tatsuno-style red-and-white banding on the corner pavilions with ornate neo-Baroque shell and floral motifs. It has no heritage designation and is partially inhabited, with the right wing in a state of advanced deterioration.
