Completed in Shimokuifu-cho (下奎府町) in 1926, this post office was in continuous use for decades, later being renamed Taipei Circle Post Office (臺北圓環郵局). The building is now empty as the office relocated to a more modern building but it has earned heritage status and may yet be reborn.

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.
