Little White House (New Taipei City Tamsui Historical Museum) Introduction
The "Former Customs Officer's Residence in Tamsui," also known as the "Little White House," was built in 1862 and has a history of over a century. It is named for its eye-catching Spanish-style white architecture. Located in the area formerly known as "Pao Tai Pu," it sits at the highest point of the second hill at the mouth of the Tamsui River. In the 1860s, when Tamsui opened for trade, this area became the main district for foreigners to conduct business, trade, and reside, leading to the construction of many exotic-style buildings, among which the Little White House is one, representative of colonial architecture.
