A complex of wooden staff housing for employees of Dounan Railway Station spanning an entire city block bounded by Xinxing Street, Minquan Road, Nanchang Road, and Shun’an Street. One of the three largest surviving TRA dormitory complexes in Taiwan alongside those in alongside Taipei and Changhua, the buildings include detached, semi-detached, and terraced types reflecting construction from the Japanese colonial era through to the post-war US aid period. Unusually for railway housing, the complex was built away from the rail line rather than alongside it for reasons unknown.

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.
