Chiayi Ci'ai Clinic (嘉義慈愛診所)

A two-storey brick-and-wood shophouse also known as the former residence of Dr. Huang Yao (黃瑤). It is located in Chiayi City along a historic stretch of Gongming Road (公明路) nicknamed Physician Street (醫師街) for its many medical practices. The building dates to 1930 and was purchased in 1946 by Huang and his wife Dr. Wang Duanya (王端雅), a husband-and-wife team trained in Japan who ran an obstetrics practice here for over two decades. They became known locally for forgiving the fees of impoverished patients. After Huang’s sudden death in 1969 the house was preserved by the family and in 2017 was leased to Tinaduo Coffee (提娜多咖啡), which retained the interior furnishings.

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.
