Former Mitsui & Co. Taipei warehouse, Cultural heritage monument near North Gate, Taipei, Taiwan.

The red brick two-story warehouse features traditional Japanese colonial architecture with preserved gable cuts near the ground floor entrance point.

Built between 1913 and 1914, the warehouse stored goods for the Guangtong Transportation Company through a partnership agreement with the Mitsui Group until 1935.

The permanent exhibition displays over 400 historical items, documenting industries like camphor, timber, and tea operations during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan.

Located near Taipei Main Station, the building now functions as an information hub connecting multiple cultural sites including Futai Street Mansion and Taipei Post Office.

In 2016, engineers relocated the entire structure 51 meters eastward using specialized preservation techniques while maintaining its architectural integrity.
