Originally established as a rice mill in 1942, the building was heavily damaged during the war, and a theater was built in one of the remaining structures in 1945. It was in continuous operation as a venue for traditional opera and performance as well as screening films until 1991. In the 2000s it was designated a historic building, restored, and opened to the public as a cultural attraction.

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.
