Catatan Mama : 

- Kerusakan bagungan sebelah kiri separuh rubuh, bagian belakang rumah dinding-dindingnya pecah.  Bangunan samping kanan depan (garasi) juga rubuh.  Rangka dinding semua telah ditanami kolom-kolom besi untuk penguatan.

- Ada 2 tim yang menangani konservasi : Tim Perencana dan Tim Pelaksanan. 

- Tim Perencana yang terdiri dari ahli arsitektur dan BPCB mengambil foto kondisi existing sebelum konservasi. Mereka juga mengambil sampel bahan ubin, kaca, dinding serta cat, lalu di tes dan dibuatkan formula yang akan dipakai dalam perbaikan rumah ini di Laboratorium Balai Konservasi Borobudur.

- Tim Pelaksana menuruti konsep pelestarian dimana bangunan utama akan dipertahankan asli.  Antara lain Pendapa, Gandhok Kiwa & Tengen, Pringgitan, Kamar dua di belakang, Gadri serta bangunan belakang setelah taman yang disuga untuk membatik dipertahankan asli.

- Material juga diusahakan menggunakan bahan yang sama dengan yang dipakai rumah ini ketika dibangun.  Misalnya penggunaan bligon untuk tembok dan juga campuran ubin yang tanpa semen, tapi hanya campuran tumbukan bata merah, pasir dan gamping.

- Pengerjaan telah berlangsung 9 bulan dan baru sampai tahap 30% sebab detil dan aturan serta kaidah pelestaraian berusaha diterapkan semaksimal mungkin.

- Pemilik telah mempersilakan bagi siapa saja dari bidang apapun untuk datang dan belajar dari konservasi yang tengah dilakukan ini.  Tersedia foto atau dokumentasi setiap tindakan yang diambil sehingga bisa menjadi laboratorium bersama pelestarian bangunan heritage.
