Completed in 1936 as the main assembly venue for Xinhua District, hosting events such as public school graduation ceremonies. It was the second generation of public halls in Xinhua; the first, completed in the 1920s, was found insufficient for the needs of the growing community. After the war it continued as a community gathering space until the 1960s, when the KMT appropriated it as a local service station (民眾服務站). After the city government reclaimed it, an extensive restoration was completed in June 2018. It now serves as a study room and library with public access from the building next door.

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.
