May. 12, 2005 - Lin Antai Old Homestead

The Old Residence of Lin AnTai was dismantled in August 1978 to give way to the expanded DunHua S. Road. In 1984 it was reconstructed within the premises of BinJiang Park. Though not luxuriously decorated, the Old Residence of Lin AnTai is a magnificent piece of art. Choice materials and admirable craftsmanship show how master artisans had attended to details. With skillful hands they laid the corner stones, the red bricks and the stone window frames. The finishes of the pillars and bluestone thresholds, and the relievos on doors and windows demonstrate first-rate craftsmanship. This is truly one of Taipei’s most delicately built residences. The fact that most of the materials came from FuJien adds historical significance to its artistic value.
