Yen Chia-Kan's Residence, Historic residence in Zhongzheng District, Taiwan
The two-story Western-style residence features a prominent steeple on the roof and spans over 660 square meters of building area.
Built in 1910 as the Bank of Taiwan vice president's residence during Japanese colonial rule, the property later became home to Taiwan's fifth president.
The residence combines Western cement walls with East Asian brick eaves, featuring Japanese stone lamps and native Taiwanese trees in its gardens.
Located at 2-4 Chongqing South Road, the residence includes reception rooms, dining areas, studies, and bedrooms across two floors.
The garden preserves original trees from the Japanese colonial period, including ring-cupped oak, crape myrtle, banyan trees, and three large green maples.
