In 2003, under the personal stewardship and careful planning of the lawyer Chen Kok-choo, the old house, which had been designated as a Taipei City historic monument, came to life again and was transformed into the Taipei Story House. As such, it serves to recount not only the stories of the building's own history, but also the dashing personalities and historical eras of the last century in Taipei.
二○○三年，這間台北市定古蹟的圓山別莊，由律師陳國慈以個人身份認養，經過用心規劃，老房子活了起來，搖身一變為台北故事館，不僅訴說著故事館本身的故事，更訴說台北近百年來的風流人物與時代故事。
