登瀛書院, Historical academy in Taipei City, Taiwan
Denying Academy was an educational institution originally located near the examination hall on Fuhow Street before moving to the area near the West Gate. The building later became Tamsui Hall and housed a private library with thousands of books and documents from earlier periods.
The academy was established in 1880 on the initiative of Taipei Prefecture official Chen Xingju to support students in their scholarly pursuits. The building was demolished in August 1906 during urban renewal, but its library collection continued in various other institutions.
During Japanese rule, the building transformed into Tamsui Hall, serving as an officers' club and later housing the private Taiwan Library collection.
The original site no longer exists as the building was demolished in 1906 during urban renewal, but visitors can explore Academy Street near the West Gate area to understand where it stood. The historical locations nearby give a sense of how Taipei developed in the late 1800s.
The street where Denying Academy relocated received the name 'Academy Street', marking its significance in local educational development.
