More recently, in 1917, as a consequence of the construction project to widen the Imadegawa-dori (street), the buildings were dragged (in other words, moved as is, without disassembling them) some distance away, and although the size of the Reizei plot of land was reduced, the positioning of the various buildings were kept largely in their old configuration.
近代に入って1917年には今出川通の拡幅工事に伴い曳家（ひきや、建物を解体せずに平行移動させること）が行われ、敷地も縮小したが、各建物の配置などは旧状をよくとどめているという。
