Established in 1928 as Tōfun-za (頭分座), likely a performance venue for traditional opera and the like. It was renamed after the war. Not much is known about its ultimate fate, but it likely operated into the 1960s. It is remembered for screening Taiwanese language films in its later years.

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.
