A Japanese colonial era wooden residence built for the stationmaster of Dounan Railway Station, part of the larger TRA dormitory complex nearby but carrying a higher heritage designation on account of its craftsmanship and rarity. It is one of few surviving TRA stationmaster residences in Taiwan. Designated a Yunlin County municipal monument in 2015 but still in a state of disrepair as of the mid-2020s.

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.
