Built in 1915 as the official residence of the Taitung Prefecture Administrator, this single-story Japanese wooden building is the most complete surviving Japanese colonial era structure in Taitung County. After the war it was seized by the KMT and continued as the county magistrate’s residence. Designated a historic building in 2002, it is now open to the public and occasionally used for music events.

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.
