永慕庐位于紫金山的半山腰，距离中山陵祭堂直线距离600米。1928年，中山陵第一部工程（墓室、祭堂部分）即将竣工，孙中山先生葬事筹备处决定，在小茅山顶的万福寺古刹旁选址修建了孙中山家属守灵处，题名为“永慕庐”。

Yongmu House is located halfway up Purple Mountain, about 600 meters in a straight line from the mausoleum’s Memorial Hall. In 1928, as the first phase of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum—including the Tomb and Memorial Hall—was nearing completion, the Committee on Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Tomb Construction decided to build a residence for Dr. Sun’s family to keep vigil. The site was chosen beside the former Wanfu Temple on Xiaomaoshan Hill, and the building was named Yongmu House, meaning “Eternal Remembrance.”

永慕庐房屋建筑采用传统中式格局，“内设客厅一间，卧室四所，旁设厨房一间，下室四所。房屋之外，布置花圃，周以石墙，风景清幽，建筑古朴。”该项工程由建筑师陈均沛设计，新金记康号营造厂承办，于1928年冬开工，1929年春完成，历时四个月。建成后，宋庆龄、孙科均曾在此守灵居住。

Yongmu House follows a traditional Chinese layout. “It includes a reception hall, four bedrooms, a kitchen, and four rooms on the lower level. Outside, there are flower beds enclosed by stone walls, creating a quiet and rustic setting.” The project was designed by architect Chan, G.P. and constructed by Sing King Kee Building Contractor. Construction began in the winter of 1928 and was completed in the spring of 1929, taking just four months. After its completion, both Madame Soong Ching Ling and Sun Fo stayed there while keeping vigil.

永慕庐东侧建有议政亭，这是孙科当年在此为父守灵时，议论时政，处理公务的地方。抗战期间，永慕庐和议政亭被毁，仅存残墙、石额与亭子的八角形基座。

To the east of Yongmu House stands the Yizheng Pavilion, where Sun Fo once discussed state affairs and handled official duties during his mourning period. During the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, both Yongmu House and Yizheng Pavilion were destroyed, leaving only fragments such as damaged walls, a stone plaque, and the octagonal foundation of the pavilion.

1993年，中山陵园管理处按建筑原貌在原址对永慕庐及议政亭进行了修复。2006年，永慕庐被公布为第三批南京市文物保护单位。

In 1993, the Administration of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum restored Yongmu House and Yizheng Pavilion on their original sites, faithfully following their original design. In 2006, Yongmu House was listed as part of the third batch of Nanjing Municipal Protected Cultural Relic Units.

永慕庐承载着对孙中山先生的深情纪念，它陈列在静谧的山间，无声地诉说着历史。

Quietly nestled in the mountains, Yongmu House stands as a place of deep remembrance for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, silently telling the story.
