平溪臺陽鑛業鑛長宿舍

平溪臺陽鑛業鑛長宿舍, Mining supervisor dormitory in New Taipei, Taiwan.

The Shiding mine supervisor's residence in Pingxi is a wooden and brick building completed in 1938, raised on a slope reached by steps. Its front entrance takes a karahafu gable form, and rain boards cover the outer walls to protect the earthen plaster. Inside are a study, reception room, zashiki and tea room, with toilet and kitchen to the left.

The residence was built in 1938 during the height of the Taiyang Mining Company operations in the region. After mining declined, the structure was preserved as a reminder of the economic activity that once defined this area.

The building shows how mining communities organized themselves, with supervisors housed separately from ordinary workers in their own space. This separation reflects the social order that existed during the mining era.

The best way to reach the building is on foot from Pingxi Station through the former mining district, where walking paths are clearly marked. The site sits at a comfortable walking distance and offers views of other historical structures in the surrounding area.

The residence's front entrance uses a karahafu, a curved gable named after the Tang dynasty, and the walls are clad in rainboards to keep the earthen plaster from washing away. The building covers about 31 ping on a plot of nearly 150 ping, and because it stands on higher ground visitors must climb a flight of steps to reach it.
