Built in 1917 as the private residence of a Japanese industrialist. It was repossessed by Changhua Bank in 1937 after a later resident could not repay a loan. After the war it was used as the residence of various executives. Nowadays it remains a private residence, but it was recognized for its heritage value in 2015 and is now protected. Also known more generally as the Changhua Bank Guesthouse (彰化銀行招待所).

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.
