Hemei Mayor’s Residence

Completed in 1934, during the Japanese colonial era, this was originally Hemei Police Station (和美線警察官吏派出所), with a room in one wing set aside for the village head. It remained a police station in Hemei until 1958 and later served as dormitories for police officers. The second post-war mayor of the town also lived here, which is how it came to be known as the mayor’s residence. The building was recognized for its heritage value in 2008 but a dispute over land ownership delayed restoration, which began in 2018 and finished in 2020. There is also an air raid shelter on site.
