Located at No. 6, Lane 7, Qingtian Street, Taipei, it is also known as "Qingtian 7-6". This area is where the Japanese-style historical residential "營宅" is most concentrated. The building was constructed in 1931 by Professor Adachi Hitoshi as his residence. The entire building is primarily made of cypress wood. The left side of the house features a reception room, study, and dining room, with a bookshelf, glass bay window, outdoor European-style flower garden, and front yard all designed in Western style. The right side of the house features a bedroom and children's room designed in traditional Japanese tatami style. The entire building combines the advantages of Japanese and Western architectural styles. In 1945, it was occupied by his friend, Professor Ma Ting-ying, a geologist from National Taiwan University. In 2006, it was officially listed as a municipally designated historic site by the city government. In 2011, it was rented by National Taiwan University alumni from the management unit, Taiwan University, and officially opened to the public. Currently, in addition to offering free guided tours and science popularization activities, the living room, dining room, and study are also open for the sale of food and cultural creative products. Ma Ting-ying, a renowned geologist, paleontologist, and marine geologist, was born in 1899 in Jin County, Liaoning Province. He was known for his rigorous and meticulous approach to research, which took him to various parts of the world. He was a pioneer of important theories of his time. After Ma Ting-ying passed away in 1979, President Chiang Ching-kuo awarded him a posthumous commendation in February 1980. The Geological Society of the Republic of China established the "Ma Ting-ying Young Scholars' Paper Award" on July 16, 1987, to commemorate this geological master and honor his contributions to geological research. From 1945, when Professor Ma Ting-ying moved in, until 2007, the house was continuously occupied by the Ma family. In the fall of 1947, Qi Bangyuan, a teaching assistant in the Department of Foreign Languages at National Taiwan University, who came to Taiwan from Shanghai, also lived there temporarily. On May 2, 2006, the Taipei City Government announced that "National Taiwan University Japanese-style Dormitory - Ma Ting-ying Residence" had been officially designated as a directly governed historic site.
