This bisected shophouse block is the former hospital.

A row of shophouses on Zhongshan Road (中山路) in Yuanlin originally founded as Changchun Hospital by Dr. Lin Hu (林糊) in either 1921 or 1925. Lin Hu was a prominent cultural activist and elected official who was arrested and persecuted during the 228 Incident; his family was ruined in the aftermath. The rightmost building was later converted into a branch of Taiwan Provincial Credit Union (台灣省合作金庫). Now home to a pizzeria (披薩工廠員林店) that preserves much of the original interior.

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.
