Completed in 1922, this well-preserved community provided living quarters for state railway employees and their families. It was abolished in the early 2000s and, after the spirited intervention of civic activist groups, earned heritage status. As of 2025 it is undergoing restoration work but isn’t yet fully open to the public.

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.
