朴子日新醫院

Completed in 1936 by Tu Lu (涂爐), one of the first doctors of Western medicine in Puzi, who trained in Okayama during the Japanese colonial era. The two-storey building, set in a garden, combines a Western clinic on the ground floor with Japanese living quarters above. After decades of disuse the owners sold the property in late 2013 and began demolition, prompting a preservation campaign that led to its designation as a county monument in December 2014. Puzi Peitian Temple agreed to purchase the building the following year for use as a museum of medicine.

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.
