At the end of 1940s, Hu Wenhu built a tiger and leopard villa named after the two brothers, combining Chinese and Western architectural styles. The villa is made of brick and wood structure, round in the outside and square in the inside, low in the front and high in the back. It is a three story building, which looks like a downhill tiger and covers an area of 2730 square meters. In 1983, after the state implemented the policy of returning the Hu family property to the Hu family, the Hu Wenhu Foundation allocated 4.78 million yuan for the renovation of Yongding Hubao villa. In 1994, Hu Wenhu's daughter, Dr. Hu Xian, donated the Yongding tiger and leopard villa to the people's Government of Yongding County on behalf of the Hu family, opening up a "Hu Wenhu Memorial Hall".
