Completed in 1925, this red brick and polished stone building served as the seat of government for Dongshi County, and as a police station with a detention center. In the post-war era it continued to serve as a police station, and in its later years it was renovated and covered with tile. Police operations departed in the 2020s and as of 2024 the building is being restored.

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.
