這座建築興建於1941（昭和16）年，原本作為單身警察的宿舍，居住時並非一戶住一人，而是所有未婚單身的警察共同住在一起。國民政府遷臺後，這邊改由一位專門幫蔣中正總統理髮的俞濟昌先生居住。
This structure, built in 1941 (the 16th year of the Shōwa era), was intended as the dorm for single policemen. Instead of being a one-individual-per-unit arrangement, all the single police officers had to bunk together. After the Chinese nationalist government relocated to Taiwan, this unit was inhabited by Mr. Yu Ji-chang, who worked as a barber for president Chiang.
注意到轉角的小窗戶嗎？這是浴室和廁所的窗戶喔。
Notice the little window in the corner? It’s the window of the bathing area and the restroom.
日式宿舍有著各種編制規範，這座建築物屬於「丙種判任官舍」，早期丙種官舍並不會設置浴室，需要另外建造公共浴室提供居民使用。但本棟建築因建造年代較晚，室內已設有浴室，是相當特別的案例。
國立台灣歷史博物館影音資料庫中，剛好保存了這座建築修復前的外觀，一起去看看吧(07:30起)!
Japanese dormitories are defined by very specific configuration rules and codes. This structure falls under the “type-C official residence category.” In its earliest days, the classic type-C official residence units did not contain any bathrooms. A communal bathhouse had to be built for the residents. But since this structure was built in a more modern era, a bathroom was attached to the unit, making it quite a standout.
Footage of this structure’s original exterior, prior to the facelift, is preserved in the audiovisual database of National Museum of Taiwan History. Let’s go check it out! (Starting at 7:30)
