Completed in 1920, this asymmetrical European-style brick building featured the largest restaurant in Taiwan at the time, seating up to 1,000 guests, and served as a popular venue for cultural gatherings and exhibitions. After the war it was seized by the KMT and renamed Zhongshan Hall (中山堂). It was demolished in 1989 and replaced by Zhongzheng Park (中正公園).

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.
