During the August Revolution of 1945, the communal house was the place where Viet Minh cadres organized to regain power and launched the "Popular Education" movement. From 1958 to 1962, the communal house was demolished to get materials to serve the resistance and build local welfare projects.

In 2013, the government and people of Dong Lai village contributed their efforts and money to restore the communal house on the old campus in the shape of the letter T, including 5 main worship rooms and 2 rear sanctuaries. Every year, the Dong Lai communal house festival is held from the 15th to the 16th of the third lunar month.

With outstanding historical value, at the end of 2024, Dong Lai communal house was recognized by Hai Duong Provincial People's Committee as a provincial historical relic.
