In the 9th year of Emperor Dazheng (1920), Taiwan implemented administrative reform, and Lukang became Lukang Street, Changhua County, Taichung State. After the reformation of street district system, Lukang Jieyichang (today’s Township Office) was built to be the highest administrative institution in Lukang.
In the 10th year of Emperor Showa, the Mayor’s dormitory was built next to Lukang Jieyichang to be Lukang Mayor’s residence.
Lukang Mayor’s residence was a Japanese style wood structure. The base was elevated and the footings mostly were made by brick columns or wood columns; those were helpful for ventilation and preventing humid floor and borer’s threats. Externally Lukang Mayor’s residence were covered with weather boards and internally the residence was partitioned by placing woven bamboo in-between mud walls; the overall design showed wood structure’s simple style in Japanese Colonial Period. After Restoration, Lukang Mayor’s residence once was left unused. In a later time, it once was Lukang Township Office’s warehouse.
On November 20th, 2002, it was registered to be a historic building. The restoration started on September 17th, 2003 and completed in July 2004.
