A Japanese colonial era residence built for the district chief after the 1920 administrative reform, when Beidou served as the administrative center of southern Changhua. The Grade 3 high official residence featured a private garden. After the war it became staff dormitories for the tax bureau, surviving a 1980s road-widening project that demolished other wooden dormitories nearby. It was restored between 2014 and 2016 and now operates as the Changhua County 228 and Human Rights Memorial Hall (彰化縣二二八暨人權紀念館).

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.
