Name :
    Remains of Taipei Prison Wall  
Description:
    During the 1910s, Japanese colonists erected a massive prison in Taipei and another one in Tainan as part of the move to suppress the anti-colonial uprisings that were intensifying across Taiwan. In a style common among 19th century correctional facilities worldwide, the now-defunct Taipei Prison featured cell blocks that radiate outward, and high walls made of stones up-cycled from the Taipei Prefecture bulwarks demolished in the 1910s. The prison wall is historically significant in part because they are composed of andesite and Qilian stone sourced during Emperor Guangxu’s reign from hillside quarries in Dazhi or Neihu, and transported to the shores of Keelung River; next they were shipped to the Hegoutou Wharf via Tamsui River by boat. The long-winding journey added to the worth of the wall.

    Taipei Industrial Institute, the Red Building  
Description:
    Built in 1912, this was formerly a Taipei Prefecture Industrial Institute during the Japanese colonial period. It was called the Auxiliary Industrial Institute of the Civil Administration Department by the Governor General Office, and was later renamed the Prefecture Industrial Institute in 1921. It was Taiwan’s most prominent industrial institute of this particular period, and was considered to be the cradle of industrial talents in the early days. The institute was home to several departments, including chemical engineering, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, architecture, etc. The walls of the building are laid with red bricks, with protruding pillars to make the façade more streamlined. Outside the two-story building are corridors that connect to other buildings. The air vents below the windows are made of cast iron, embedded with the institute’s crest. The entire building makes use of exquisite brickwork that brings out the design spirit of strict proportion. It possesses both historical and cultural significance of the universities of science and technology, as well as Taiwan’s extant campus buildings from the early 20th century.

Name :
    Longanpo Huang Family Lianrang Estate  
Description:
    Longanpo was situated at the northern side of Taipei Basin during the Qing Dynasty, near the mountainous area, where immigrants from Anxi of Fujian Quanzhou Prefecture found their permanent home. Ancestors of the Huang family came to Taiwan during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1740), and first resided in Danshui’s Fanshuliao, before moving to Taipei Basin. The brothers from the fourth generation of the family built the house, which is today’s Lianrang Estate. Lianrang Estate was built in 1897, three years into the Japanese colonial period; exquisite building materials were used for erecting the estate. The house faces south and is surrounded by paddy fields. This red brick courtyard house among paddy fields is a typical Taiwan’s traditional farm house. This setting is also called “guardian dragons at the front of the house”. When the house was initially built, the left and right guardian dragons were the only mythical structures built. The outer guardian dragons were added when the house was extended later. The red bricks used were made in Taiwan, as they have better quality, richer red color and better workmanship. It has a double-pitched roof, and the ridge of the roof has a gentle curve, reflecting simplicity and unadornedness. The exquisite wooden carvings in the main hall is well-preserved. The unique materials and decoration bear the transitional characteristics of Taipei City’s century-old extant old farm house, from the Late Qing to early Japanese colonial period.
