Tuku Farmers’ Association Octagonal Granary (土庫農會八角倉庫) - Spectral Codex

An octagonal granary on the grounds of the Tuku Farmers’ Association in Tuku, Yunlin, completed on November 30, 1961. The cement-brick structure features double walls with ventilation ports, windows on all eight faces, and interior walls lined with sugarcane board and sheet metal for moisture and heat insulation. One of only a few octagonal granaries remaining in Taiwan, this is the only one in Yunlin to have been revitalized, with interior murals by a local illustrator and agricultural exhibits on the upper level.
