A Japanese-style wooden duplex built for judges working at the nearby Tainan Prison. It recognized for its heritage value and later reorganized under “the wooden buildings of the former Tainan Prison” (原臺南刑務所木造建築群) in 2020. It is being restored as of 2024.

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.
