Two years ago, the city government decided to find a new use for the building, and the project designer decided to enlarge the facade to make it easier to use and to change the placement of the central hallway's staircase. By tearing down almost all of the interior walls on the second floor, they created a large space that could serve as an auditorium.
兩年前，市政府決定在此進行古蹟再利用，然而設計者為了方便使用，更改了中央走廊的樓梯間佈局，跟著將整個官邸的空間組織完全改變，營造出大空間來作為展示廳。
