陳一鶴老宅

The Chen Yi He residence is a two-story house in Tainan that combines Japanese, Western, and traditional Taiwanese design elements. The ground floor preserves medical consultation rooms and patient wards that show how it was once used.

The house was completed in 1930 after the father of Dr. Chen Yi He passed away before construction finished. It served as both home and medical practice for the family during a time of major change.

The residence shows how residents blended different building styles into their home during Japanese rule. The rooms reflect how people lived between traditional and modern influences at that time.

The house sits at 56 Chihkan East Street in Tainan and is accessible by public transport. A visit lets you walk through the rooms to understand the layout and how the building was arranged.

The 2021 renovation carefully added Japanese tiles and cypress wood panels without changing the original structure. This balance between preserving and renewing makes the house a good example of respectful restoration.
