A set of four adjoining shophouses built by Ngô͘ Lú-siông (吳汝祥) in 1927 on what was then known as Dongmen Street (東門街). In January 2017 the owners attempted to demolish the building but public outcry, incensed by several recent demolitions of historic buildings in Changhua City, put a stop to it. It was quickly recognized for its heritage value in July 2017 but this status was rescinded by a court ruling in October 2023. Also known as Songzhu Hall (松竹堂).

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.
