Four duplex-style Japanese dormitories built between 1937 and 1941 for Shanjiao Public School (山腳公學校), established in 1911 as a branch of Yuanli Public School. The buildings feature raised floors with ventilation windows in the foundation, bamboo-and-mud walls clad in hinoki panels, and black tile roofing.

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.
