A cluster of Japanese residences built in 1932 to provide living quarters for the police chief and several officers and their families. These dormitories retained their original function in the post-war era with the addition of air raid shelters. After restoration the site was converted into Taichung Literature Museum (臺中文學館). The official name according to the Cultural Bureau is Japanese Era Police Dormitories (日治時期警察宿舍).

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.
