A modest red brick structure designed to divert water on the grounds of a water purification plant in Nuannuan, Keelung, dating back to 1902. It was part of the design for Keelung Waterworks (基隆水道) developed by Scottish engineer W.K. Burton in 1897. Also known as Nuannuan Water Purification Plant Octagonal Well Building (暖暖淨水場八角井樓). It is not regularly open to the public but can be seen on guided tours of the waterworks.

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.
