Japanese colonial era worker housing built for the Kanegafuchi Soda Plant (鐘淵曹達工業株式會社台南工場), an alkali-chlorine factory established in 1938 that produced caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, and bromine for the Japanese Navy. After the war the plant was taken over by the Taiwan Salt Company (台鹼) and later merged into CPC (中石化), becoming infamous for severe dioxin and mercury contamination before closing in 1982. The dormitories have been largely abandoned, though the area briefly gained online notoriety as Tainan Cat Village (台南貓村).

Curator, Spectral Codex

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
