Former British Consulate in Tamsui Introduction
The former British consulate located on the east side of Fort San Domingo is a brick and arcade-style Western building, completely different from the castle-like style of Fort San Domingo. The brick structure of the consulate was designed by a British architect and constructed by Chinese technicians, utilizing Chinese materials. The red brick building, arched corridors, sloped roof, and high steps successfully showcase the characteristics of typical colonial architecture.
