Lu JIU Lu Jia Dawu
Lujia Mansion is two stories high and made of thick blue bricks. The layout is similar to that of xiguan big house, Guangzhou, which is a typical soft and slender architectural style of houses in central Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty. The big house is divided into three bedrooms, three entrances and two floors. The entrance hall, tea hall (sedan chair) and main hall are separated by screens, and the rooms are arranged. Multiple patios are convenient for ventilation and lighting. The interior combines Chinese and western decorative materials and techniques, including brick carving, gray plastic, horizontal curtain, hanging window, oyster shell window, western-style fake ceiling, manzhou window and cast iron railing. It's interesting that two special decorations are combined into one furnace. The windows on the faç ade are all Portuguese shutters, and the most beautiful ones are the left and right ones. The window sash is wrapped in metal, and a semi-circular stained glass window is added to the shutter, and the glass window is decorated with gray plastic. The building combines Chinese and western architectural styles and reflects the unique residential characteristics of Macao. According to the Cultural Relics Protection Law 83/92/M and 1992, it was rated as a "building with architectural artistic value" by the Macao government and became a protected building.
After the decline of the Lushi family, the ownership was transferred to outsiders. The big house was subletted and a large number of refugees poured in. There were more than 20 households at the peak, which lacked maintenance before the 1980 s. So many places in the big house have been demolished and rebuilt, and the innermost part of the big house has been demolished; In July 2002, the Macao Cultural Bureau was renovated for this purpose, and it was partially opened to the public in mid-2005.
