 The owner of Chen's old family compound is a prestigious clan in Puyan with many famous and powerful off-springs. The first Changhua County Councilman from Puyan Township was from Chen’s clan. Chen's old family compound is a sanheyuan with multi-wings of houses built by the sides. Whai is more special, the houses on both side of outermost wing are tow-storied, which were rarely seen at that time. According to the scion Chen Bo-jhong, though his grandfather (who built the compound) was illiterate, he was fond of making friends with men of letters. So, colorful paintings and calligraphy can be spotted on the wall everywhere. However, because it has weathered a long period of time, partial structures have been damaged.
