臺北市政府衛生局舊址

Built in the 1920s as a public employment office for Taipei Prefecture, this two-storey brick building later housed Onari-cho Public Pawnshop (御成町三所公設質舖), a state-run loan and welfare center. In the post-war era it was converted into a public health office. Designed in an eclectic style with a simple modern exterior accented by wooden windows and horizontal bands, the interior features original wood beams, columns, and staircases. Designated a municipal monument in 1998, the building was converted into Taiwan’s first disability welfare center before reopening in 2017 as Zhongshan Zangyisuo (中山藏藝所), a public welfare platform operated by the Children Are Us Foundation.

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.
