This house is a Western-style home that was originally built in Shinanomachi, Shinjuku Ward. The German architect Georg de Lalande enlarged the house around 1910, transforming it into a three-story wooden structure. The house came under various owners over the years, but from 1956, Mishima Kaiun, the inventor of the lactic acid beverage Calpis, lived there.
