The building of the house started in the late 1890's But Chung Keng Quee did not get to see the finished building as he died in 1901. They went ahead and added a shrine to him while they were building the house. They did not spare any expense on the shrine. There were ceramic tiles on the roof, a fantastic set of doors, a gigantic gold gilded area where a statue of Chung stands.
Detailed ceramic works

Tile on the sides and a series of pagodas
We are so fancy!
The statue is front and center
Lots going on up on top
Looking good for being dead for 123 years
Looking out to the front of the building
The doors!
The first set of double doors
The second set of doors may scare off intruders
They are scary indeed
