Chen Tian-lai Residence

The Chen Tian-lai Residence is a historic house located in the Datong District of Taipei, Taiwan, showcasing stunning Baroque architectural style with a grand facade and a serene pond in its backyard. Built in the 1920s for wealthy tea merchant Chen Tian-lai, the residence has a rich history but fell into disrepair due to ownership disputes among over 30 heirs. In 2020, the Taipei government intervened to restore the building and its surroundings, with plans set for completion by 2024, making it an intriguing site for tourists and researchers interested in Taiwan's architectural heritage and restoration efforts.
