Completed in 1929, this neo-Baroque building was both the home and place of business of Dr. Fang Quansong (方泉松), who later rose to prominence as mayor of Zhunan, Miaoli. The bell tower was severely damaged in the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung Earthquake and later demolished. After many decades of neglect the structure is in an extremely dilapidated condition, but it was designated a heritage property in 2022, and may yet be restored. As of 2024 no work has been undertaken and it is difficult to catch even a glimpse of the supposedly magnificent façade.
Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.
警告：此處已廢棄或長期無人管理，可能存在潛在危險。造訪時請務必提高警覺，並做好相關安全防護措施。

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.
