Completed in 1931, this was originally the private residence of a wealthy businessman. The original residence of the Keelung Fortress Commander was heavily damaged by air raids during World War 2 and when the KMT arrived they expropriated this building for the same purpose. Although the Keelung Fortress Command was dissolved in 1957 the last commander continued to reside here until it was subleased to another family. After restoration in the 2020s it opened to the public as Commander Café (官邸作客).

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.
