The material for the construction of the villas such as steel, marble, tile, and brick were all sent from France. Since the constructions were built in the architecture style of Western in the 20th century, they have spacious surroundings, symmetrical architecture, and tile-covered roofs. The roofs are octagonal, and the supporting rafters look somewhat like those in a pagoda. unlike the French villas in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City or Da Lat, the old villas and mansions of Bac Lieu have their own architecture style.
Generally, those villas were originally designed to have high ceiling, yellow painted walls and high vault-like roofs. The 30 mansions and villas that remain standing along the two banks of the river in Bac Lieu have become part of the heritage of Bac Lieu Province.{itpsharepoint}
