Established in 1934 as Kōryū-za (興隆座). It was a reinforced concrete building with seating for 560 on the ground floor and an additional 234 on the balcony level. Somewhat unusual for the time, it was owned and operated by Taiwanese led by Wang Cheng-chi (王稱奇). After the war the name was changed and it continued to operate for a time. Certainly demolished later on.

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.
