史料原文/譯文The "Japanese-style Dormitory Group of Taoyuan City Government Police Bureau" is located at Lane 77, Zhongzheng Road, Taoyuan City. This area was the administrative and cultural center of the old days.
If you track back to the formation of Taoyuan City, you will find that during the reign of Qing Emperor Qianlong, the Han Chinese arriving at the Nanxun Port went along the Nanxun Creek to establish the "Peach Garden" settlement centering around the Kaijifu Temple, dedicated to the worship of "Kaizhang Shengwang". After the feuds between the settlers from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, the center was moved west to today's intersection of Zhongshan Road and Zhongzheng, where the Jingfu Temple was built to worship the "Kaizhang Shengwang", and the Zhangzhou people even built a defensive castle. In the late Qing Dynasty, the railway line from Keelung to Hsinchu was opened to the public, and Taoyuan Railway Station was constructed in the south of the old city, thus expanding the city to the south.
During the Japanese colonial period, the city wall between today's Jingfu Temple and Railway Station was demolished to build and set up the administrative and cultural and educational units, including county offices, street labor centers, police stations, taxation offices, schools, as well as various company branches and financial institutions. Thus, the Japanese built up their dormitories around this area.
This area has now become the business district in front of Taoyuan Railway Station, and the Japanese-style dormitory group of Taoyuan City Government Police Bureau is located in the lanes of the business district. Built by Japanese-style wooden construction methods, the dormitories were standard dormitories for civil servants during the Japanese colonial period. The roof is laid with Japanese tiles, the outer wall is covered with rain shower boards, and the indoor floor is
raised and laid with wooden boards. Originally, there were 12 households in 6 houses, but only 8 households in 4 houses remain today.
After voting by the people, the group of dormitories is named "Taoyuan 77 Yiwen Town" and managed by private units in a hope that the historical buildings can be operated and presented in a more diversified, resourceful and vital way to provide various artistic activities, including art exhibitions and lectures, small concerts, cultural and creative exchange platforms and catering
services.
