Chen Jing-lan Western House, Colonial Western house in Jinhu Township, Taiwan

The Chen Jing-lan Western House spans 1,590 square meters across two floors, featuring architectural elements that combine European and Asian design principles.

Built in 1917 by a successful Singapore businessman, the residence later served as a military hospital during World War II before opening to the public.

The structure represents a period of architectural transformation in Taiwan, when Western influences began shaping local building designs in the early 20th century.
