Background:
During the period of Japanese occupation from 1895 to 1945, the mansion served as the residence of the head of the Daxi County police unit. In those days the county jurisdiction encompassed today's Fuxing District of Taoyuan City and Jianshi Township of Hsinchu County, and the police played an important role in administering Daxi and neighboring mountain areas. From the end of the Japanese era to 2015, the mansion was the residence of top Daxi police officials.
Since 2017, it has been repurposed to promote domestic and international living arts exchange on the theme of living handicraft application and experience. And since 2021, in memory of Taiwanese Diva Fong Fei Fei, grew up in Daxi in the neighborhood. This house, again, has been repurposed to Fong Fei Fei Story House. House is just like a vessel, people in and out, convergence of affection and memory, not only in honor of Fong Fei Fei, but also to recreate the brand new meaning of our era.
