The “Nanjhuang East Village Dormitory” was built in 1935 (Showa 10) and renovated in 1940 (Showa 15). Originally, the full name was “Nanjhuang Brain Manufacturing and Storage Office”, which means the collection and distribution office for brain manufacturing in Japanese. The original plan included a “storage warehouse”, “chief’s office”, and “inspector’s dormitory”. In 2007, in response to local preservation appeals, the Miaoli County Government evaluated that this dormitory belonged to a forestry subsidiary building and was a significant case in Taiwan’s industrial history architecture. It is also an important Japanese colonial period building in Miaoli County, with good preservation and beautiful surroundings, making it highly valuable for preservation and reuse. On June 14, 2007, it was announced as a historical building. Currently, this historical building only includes the chief’s dormitory, inspector’s dormitory, bathroom, and toilet. The building has one floor and consists of three connected structures. The building features a multi-functional architecture that combines office and residential use, and it is one of the few remaining residential small public bathhouses in Taiwan. The building’s plane consists of an L-shaped office and chief’s dormitory, an U-shaped inspector’s dormitory, and a separate public bath and toilet for dormitory use. The exterior of the roof ridge and top retains traditional Japanese tile decorations, and the frame is a small house structure with exterior walls made of “kagami-take” boards without battens, brick foundation, and raised floor structure. To preserve local historical memories and expand the Nanzhuang tourist route, in 2018, this historical building was allocated and actively restored and reused. By continuously operating under a “cultural tourism” model, it connects with nearby Nanzhuang Old Street attractions and diverse Shih-tou-shan cycling routes to enrich Nanzhuang’s cultural tourism characteristics. The historical significance of the building is passed down through visitors’ experiences.
