Completed in 1962, this modernist tax office (台東稅捐處) was designed by Taitung-based architect Lu Ayu (呂阿玉). It was mostly demolished in 2014 but a part of the façade was retained and integrated into the small shop still on this site. The destruction of this historic government building led to public backlash and helped secure the heritage status of some of Lu’s other works in the city.

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.
