As time went by the land around the farmhouse was expropriated by the Government of Malta in the early 1960s to build what today in the State Girls’ Secondary School ‘Lily of the Valley’. With the vicissitudes of time the farmhouse had been reduced to a very bad state and was on the verge of being pulled down in the 1980s. With a timely intervention it was saved from total destruction and renovated on the initiative of the Head of School of the adjacent school. While it was already being used for the needs of the girls’ school, an agreement was signed with the Ghaqda Filantropika Talent Mosti to have a share in the use of this building.

Today, this farmhouse is in a very good state of preservation. The GhaqdaTalent Mosti make use of it not only as its headquarters but utilise it also as an exhibition centre, and a place for literary and folk singing functions. Some interesting items on permanent exhibition are a Maltese cart and a number of tools and articles of a past age. Thus the Markiz Mallia Tabone Farmhouse is now a seat of culture and education and a think tank for philanthropic activities for the benefit of the Mostin and outsiders alike. It is very much worth a visit and it is open daily for anyone who would like to see the inside of this typical Maltese rural structure.
