A martial arts hall constructed for staff of the notorious Taipei Prison in 1937. It burned down sometime in the 1990s and the original site was converted into a shanty town. Some door posts and the foundations were still visible for a time but the entire site was razed to the ground in 2013 and no known remnants exist. The name is also written as Taipei Prison Martial Arts Hall (台北刑務所演武場).
