The Taipei Story House (Chinese: 台北故事館; pinyin: Táiběi Gùshì Guǎn), formerly known as the Yuanshan Mansion (Chinese: 圓山別莊; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Îⁿ-soaⁿ Pia̍t-chong), is a historic house in the Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. It is now open as a museum in Taipei Expo Park.
Overview[]
The house was built in 1913–14 during Japanese rule by Tan Tiau-chun (陳朝駿), a Daitōtei tea merchant.[1][2] It was originally a guest house for rich merchants, and other important local people.[citation needed]
The ground floor was built using brick and the upper floors of wood with English Tudor-style beams.[1] The staircase is constructed to look like a pagoda. The entrance portico is in the classical style with Ionic columns.[citation needed]
The Story House museum now has exhibits related to tea and local history. It is located immediately adjacent to the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and close to Yuanshan Station.[citation needed]
Transportation[]
The building is within walking distance North East from Yuanshan Station of the Taipei Metro.[citation needed]
