工藝交流館 Arts & Crafts Exchange Hall

Built: Unknow
Designated Status: Historic Building in Taoyuan
Address: No. 7, Puji Rd., Daxi Dist., Taoyuan City
Background:

This Japanese-era building has the only hipped roof in the police dormitory complex; its reception room has a gable roof, and its interior layout is also different from that of other buildings here. After World War II it was used as a police dormitory for Daxi Precinct. The restoration retained the building's original characteristics along with ruins of the wall built by post-war residents. In 1921 the building was repurposed as the Craft Exchange Hall, with space for handicraft exhibits and interchange that provide an industrial linkage for native wood and other handicrafts.
