Red House Theater, Historic theater in Ximending, Taiwan
The Red House Theater features an octagonal main structure with Western and Japanese architectural elements, complemented by a Cruciform building and adjacent square.
Japanese architect Kondo Juro designed this building in 1908 as Taiwan's first government-built market, which later transformed into a theater for Peking Opera performances.
The theater operates as a cultural center with art exhibitions, craft markets, design shops, and performance spaces that showcase local creative talent.
Located near Ximen Metro Station exit 1, the venue welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 21:30, with shops, cafes, and exhibition spaces.
The area behind the theater transforms each evening into a gathering space with numerous bars that form the center of Taipei's LGBTQ+ community.
