A 1936 modernist building originally constructed for use by the Nantou Credit Union, which was established in 1914, in Nantou City. The two-storey reinforced brick structure is faced in khaki-coloured scratch tiles and retains its Japanese cultural roof tiles and original wooden windows. It survived the war and was later repurposed for use by the Nantou Farmers’ Association (南投市農會). Damaged in the 921 Earthquake and subsequently restored, it was recognized for its heritage value in 2002.

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.
