Founded in 1924 as the Tainan Commoners’ Credit Cooperative (有限責任台南庶民信用組合), a social welfare enterprise of Tainan Prefecture providing savings and loan services to the working class. The current four-story headquarters on Zhongzheng Road was built in 1934 in the former Suehirochō (末廣町) ward of Tainan. The wooden structure at the rear, combining lodging and reception hall functions in a mixed Japanese-Western style, was designated a Tainan City historical building in 2019. It is the only surviving credit cooperative from the Japanese era in Tainan; the other seven were absorbed into commercial banks. Much like the nearby Hayashi Department Store, this building also had a rooftop Shinto shrine (台南庶民信用組合樓頂神社).

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.
