As of 2012, the interior of the building had been dismantled and all that remained were the north and west exterior walls. These were then incorporated into a social housing complex called the Imouto Housing for Women. The house that appears in the photo to the east of the Sailor's Home was demolished, but that site was also incorporated into the housing development.
