- Product Introduction -
The Taiwan Governor's Office, Department of Transportation, Railways, a national monument, was the site of the Taipei Machinery Bureau in the Qing Dynasty. It was also the first modern train repair industrial park in Taiwan, and later became the management center of Taiwan's railway transportation. In 1989, the new Taipei Station was completed. After the Taiwan Railway Administration moved out, the space was idle. Since 2006, the National Taiwan Museum has cooperated with the Taiwan Railway Administration to promote the transformation of the Railways into a museum park. There are six national monuments in the park, including the hall, cafeteria, octagonal building, power supply room, engineering office, and wartime command center (air-raid shelter), all of which were built successively during the Japanese colonial period. The main building, the hall, was completed in 1920. It uses a large amount of Alishan cypress wood. It is a half-timber structure with "brick below and wood above". The exterior is a British Queen Anne Revival historical style of red brick and white imitation stone. Together with the octagonal building, it is a representative work of the technician of the Construction Department of the Taiwan Governor's Office, Moriyama Matsunosuke, in his later years in Taiwan.
