姑娘樓, Colonial house in Tamsui, Taiwan

The Miss' House exhibits red brick construction with colonial architectural elements, featuring symmetrical windows and a prominent entrance at Tamsui Aletheia University.

William Gauld designed this residence in 1906 as living quarters for foreign female missionaries who contributed to education in the Tamsui region.
