Tamsui Customs Officers' Residence, Colonial residence in Tamsui, Taiwan.
The Tamsui Customs Officers' Residence is a residential building in Taiwan featuring Spanish colonial architecture. The white structure includes a half-domed archway, orange roof tiles, and sits near the Tamsui waterfront.
The building was constructed in 1870 when Taiwan opened to international trade. It served as housing for customs officials during the Qing Dynasty as the port grew in importance.
The building shows how customs officers and merchants of the 19th century met and conducted business together. The grand rooms give a sense of the social hierarchies and trade relationships of that era.
The building is easy to reach by metro and located in an area you can explore on foot. It helps to allow time for a walk along the waterfront to get a feel for the surroundings.
The site sits directly on the historic port where ships from different nations docked. This proximity to the waterfront meant customs officers lived in the middle of bustling trade activity.
