The school began in 1914 as a branch of Luodong Public School (羅東公學校) and became independent as Shun’an Public School (順安公學校) in 1920. Although property records date the auditorium to 1960, its form points to the Japanese colonial era, making it the only building of that period still standing at the school and one of the few surviving school auditoriums in Yilan County. A single-storey brick structure with load-bearing walls braced by pilasters, it lost its stage in 1985 to a two-storey music classroom and had its exterior reclad in mosaic tile. Listed as a historic building in 2003, it now houses a public childcare center.

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.
