翁山英故居, Historic residence in New Taipei, Taiwan
The Ong San Ying Residence is a mixed stone-and-wood building in Jiufen, New Taipei. Its front section is a single storey, with a two-storey rear section, and a light well sits between the two structures. The original spatial layout is still maintained, and the building now operates as the Jiufen Tea House.
Built in the early years of the Taishō era of Japanese rule, the house served as the residence of Weng Shanying, head of the Ruifang mining office of Taiyang Mining. After the war it housed the Jiufen mine coordination center and later the Shui Chi Hsien clinic. In the early 1990s Hong Zhisheng restored it, and in December 1991 it reopened as an art tea house. It was registered as a historic building of Taipei County on 31 August 2004.
The rooms show how wealthy Taiwanese families lived and arranged their homes in the early modern period. You can see from the details what materials and furnishings were popular at the time and how spaces were organized for family and guests.
The building stands on Jishan Street in Jiufen, in the old street quarter of Ruifang District, New Taipei. It now operates as the Jiufen Tea House, a teahouse open to visitors, so access follows the teahouse's opening hours rather than a memorial site. The original layout, with a front single-storey block, a rear two-storey block and a light well between them, is still in place.
