Taichung Mayor's House, Japanese colonial house in North District, Taichung, Taiwan
The two-story building combines Baroque architecture with Japanese influences, featuring geometric decorations and a foursquare layout with vertical and horizontal lines.
Built in 1929 for Japanese optometrist Miyahara Takeo, the residence later became the official home for Taichung mayors after Taiwan's handover to the Republic of China.
The structure transformed into a public arts center in 2004, where visitors can explore exhibitions showcasing Taiwan's architectural evolution during the Japanese colonial period.
Located within walking distance from Taichung Station, the facility provides exhibition areas, a canteen, parking spaces, restrooms, and guided tour services.
The residence stands as the most complete western-style house with a courtyard from the Japanese colonial era in Taichung, displaying modernist architectural elements.
