When the business of Chang Fu-lu and his brothers succeeded, the house was reacquired. Chang Fu-lu feels heavily the responsibility of inheriting from the past and leaving for the future. In 1976 he began to buy up land around the house and established a foundation, planning to turn the dilapidated structure into a "Chang Fang-ta Memorial Hall."
張福祿自覺擔負承先啟後的重任，因此早在民國六十五年起收購附近土地，並成立基金會，計畫將殘敗的老宅改建成「張方大紀念館」，以示不忘先人功績。
