Completed in 1933, this Japanese colonial era police station was constructed with stone from the old Taipei city walls, part of which can still be seen in the alleyway immediately to the south of the station. In the post-war era it continued to operate as a police station. The police vacated the building in 2013 and it underwent restoration work, opening to the public as Taiwan New Cultural Movement Memorial Museum (臺灣新文化運動紀念館) in 2018.

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.
