Old Tainan Branch of Kangyo Bank, Colonial bank building in West Central District, Taiwan
The Neoclassical structure features an enclosed sidewalk system within its colonnade, positioned at a main intersection of downtown Tainan.
Built in 1928 during Japanese rule, this former branch of Nippon Kangyo Bank underwent partial dismantling in 1983 for road expansion.
The building represents the transformation of Zhongzheng Road into a financial center that attracted upper-class residents during the Japanese colonial period.
The structure maintains its original banking function as a branch of the Land Bank of Taiwan, serving local financial needs since its establishment.
The corner entrance design incorporates pedestrian pathways inside the colonnade rather than beside it, differing from standard architectural practices.
