Established in 1915 by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA), this building was originally an officers’ club for the Japanese army stationed in Tainan. In the post-war period it was appropriated for use as a residence. It was emptied in 2005 and slated for demolition but preservationists successfully lobbied for it to be listed as a heritage structure in 2007. It was finally restored in 2024 after a long period of dereliction. Much of its exterior is obscured by the surrounding buildings.

Alexander Synaptic
Curator, Spectral Codex

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.
