With a sum of money left by sun Mei, Sun Yat Sen's elder brother, and donations from the revolutionaries, it became the "Sun Fu" of Lu Muzhen, Sun Yat Sen's first wife. On August 13, 1919, the ammunition depot of Songshan "gunpowder bureau" behind bingtou garden exploded, and "Sunfu" was affected into a dangerous building. The Macao government respected Sun Yat Sen and paid compensation. Sun Ke personally supervised the construction. In the 21st year of the Republic of China, it was rebuilt as the current site, with three floors and five bays. In 1933, it was changed to 1 wendishi street. Lu Muzhen died at the age of 85 in "Sun Fu" on September 7, 1952. "Sun Fu" was rebuilt and opened in April 1958, and Yu Youren inscribed a horizontal plaque "father of the nation Memorial Hall".

Both sides of the iron gate were originally inlaid with the party emblem of the Chinese Kuomintang. After the "12.3" incident, the Macao Municipal Administrative Bureau issued an announcement on January 2, 1967, forbidding the hoisting and display of foreign flags, badges and signs hostile to the people's Republic of China in Macao. The next day, the Macao government sent personnel to the museum to demolish the iron gate and replace it with a specially made iron gate without the logo of the Chinese Kuomintang.
