Completed in 1930, this Japanese colonial era police station in Dounan was part of a larger complex of government buildings that also grew to include an office of the hokō system (1940) and detention center (1950s). It was damaged in the 921 Earthquake and the police bureau was relocated to other facilities, leaving the old complex idle. It was designated a historic property in 2009 and restored over the subsequent decade. The site now operates as a restaurant serving light meals.

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.
