The building served as the residence of the principal of the Mucha Public School during the Japanese occupation, and was on the verge of being torn down in 1999. Its continued preservation is thanks to Wenshan Community College using it to start their Local Leaders 'Workshop.
這間日據時代的木柵公學校校長宿舍一九九九年原要拆除，之所以被保留下來，正是導因於文山社大和其開辦的「地方領袖工作坊」。
