Established in June 1920, this was the first of three government-run public pawnshops in Taipei during the Japanese era. By 1929 it served 50,000 borrowers annually. Its post-war history is unknown but the building is long gone by now. The site is now occupied by the Taipei City Police Department.

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.
