A cluster of black-tiled Western-style residences built in 1953 to house American personnel and officials of the Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction (農復會) during the period of direct US-ROC cooperation. With wide lawns and low suburban-style buildings, it is a rare patch of green amid the dense city. Some units are still occupied as dormitories while others sit idle; the site was listed as a historic building in 2015 and is not open to the public. Another villa nearby also earned heritage status as the Songjiang Road USAID Dormitory.

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.
