A detached Japanese-style wooden residence in Nantou City, named by the county Culture Bureau for its location on Zhangnan Road (彰南路) near Lantian Street (蘭田街). Built around 1920 as an official residence attached to the Nantou branch of the Taichung District Court, it was repurposed after the war as a county government staff dormitory. Registered as a historic building in 2020 but left vacant and badly decayed; a restoration and reuse project began in 2026.

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.
