Former Ujitsu Police Station, Historic police station in Wuri District, Taiwan
Description
The Former Ujitsu Police Station is a 1930s structure combining reinforced concrete with red brick walls and wooden architectural components. The building contains several rooms and fixed structures designed to serve administrative and law enforcement functions.
History
Construction took place during the 1930s under Japanese colonial rule to serve as the district's police facility. The station became obsolete when authorities moved operations to a newly constructed building elsewhere in the district in 1968.
Culture
The building reflects how colonial-era official structures were adapted to serve local communities and respond to subtropical conditions. The blend of Japanese design principles with local building techniques appears in window placements, roof details, and surface treatments that visitors can observe directly.
Practical
The building sits near Wuri Station, offering convenient access via Taiwan's main railway network. Visitors can reach the location easily using public transportation from the station area.
Did you know?
The walls contain wattle and daub construction, an age-old technique that persisted through centuries of Taiwanese building practices. This handcrafted method shows local building customs that influenced even the choice of newer materials like bricks.
