This villa was built in 1930. At that time Nha Xa Village was famous and rich for its silk, which was traded throughout the country and even overseas. Many French-styled villas were built during this time.
This house was built in 1930 by Mr. Pham Ngoc Pha. His grandson now lives in the house.

The house was designed by a French architect.

It still has Asian-styled decorative details. The current owner of the house, Mr. Tiep, says that his grandfather spent 2,000 Indochina dong, a huge amount, to build this village. Steel was imported from France because, at the time, Vietnam could not produce construction steel.

The French-styled house is located next to tile-roofed houses which look harmonious together.
