The Monopoly Bureau Building of the Taiwan Governor's Office, Renaissance-style red brick monument in Zhongzheng District, Taiwan.

The Monopoly Bureau Building features a six-story central tower with a prominent spire and copper roofing across its Renaissance-influenced structure.

Built between 1913 and 1922 during Japanese rule, the building served as headquarters for Taiwan's tobacco and wine monopoly administration.

The building demonstrates the architectural fusion of Western Renaissance design with Japanese colonial administrative requirements in early 20th century Taiwan.

Located near Taipei's southern gate at coordinates 25.034074, 121.514896, the building remains accessible through multiple transportation routes.

The building maintains its original copper roofing and Renaissance details while housing modern offices of the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation.
