The British Consulate Residence at Takow on the hill is a building that requires comfort, privacy and security. The building is built in the balcony colonial style, including stone fences and round arches. It was originally designed by the British, and the dimensions used are all in English units. The overall appearance of the building has continuous semi-circular arches around the exterior walls, with smaller corner posts and larger wall columns for structural stability, and the corner brick columns stand side by side.
