Jinan Presbyterian Church is the only remaining church in Taiwan built with fish scale roofing tiles.
Built in 1916 near the East Gate of Taipei and originally known as Saiwaicho Church, this place of worship was frequented in its early days by teachers and students of Taiwan University Hospital and its College of Medicine. A mixed construction of red bricks and stones from the Qilian area, the building is stylistically similar to red-brick English country churches of the Victorian era. Based on an east-west floor plan, Jinan Presbyterian Church features a lancet window inlaid with patterned glass. Its spacious and solemn interior makes use of a steel roof truss. Its exterior is graced with arched Gothic doors and windows, and exquisite stone carvings. The stone-carved window blinds of the bell tower are particularly unique. The exterior brick buttresses are built in an intriguing ecclesiastical Gothic style. In addition to the sanctuary, Sunday school classrooms at the rear are also built of brick in an European fashion. These structures are prominent early examples of church architecture in Taipei.
