Taitung County Police Chief’s Dormitory

Built around 1917 as one of the official dormitories for Taitung Prefecture, now Taitung, this Japanese wooden building was relocated to its present site around 1933. As a third-class senior official’s dormitory, it housed the police superintendent (警視) heading the prefecture’s police affairs section during the Japanese colonial era, a post roughly equivalent to today’s county police chief, and it continued in that role after the war. It was registered as a historic building in 2016, with restoration beginning in 2023.
