Built in 1933 along with the new Ershui Railway Station in Ershui, this was a residence assigned to employees of the railway company in the Japanese colonial era. As the name would imply there were once several of these, but this is the only one that remains intact into the contemporary era. It was recognized for its heritage value in 2018 and now awaits restoration.

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.
