In front of the abandoned Taichung First Credit Union.

Taichung First Credit Union (台中第一信用合作社) is a post-war bank located in Central District, Taichung. According to this blog it was abandoned in 2001. Last week I went to go take a quick look while surveying the many historic buildings in the area. There were construction workers setting up in front and there were no other points of entry so I did not gain access. Even so, from a quick look inside the place appears to have been cleared out—and they might even be preparing to renovate the building for one reason or another.

From the other side of the street it really doesn’t look like much.
