Baiyun Police Station Introduction
The Xizhi Baiyun Police Station is a historical building located in the Xizhi District of New Taipei City. It originated from the Shisanfen Police Station established during the Japanese colonial period in the 9th year of Taisho (1920), also known as Baiyun Police Station. The structure has largely maintained its original appearance and is adjacent to the Shisanfen training ground related to the Lukou Incident during the White Terror period (later renamed Baiyun Elementary School). The Shisanfen area of Xizhi established the "Shisanfen Police Station" in 1901, which was under the jurisdiction of the Keelung District Administration. In 1920, it was transferred to the Xizhi Substation of the Taipei Prefecture Qixing County Police Division and renamed the "Shisanfen Police Station." The current building was completed on May 22, 1939, and features a southern administrative office space in a Western-style mansion and a northern traditional Japanese-style residence for police dormitories. The mansion has a gabled roof, with long rectangular windows and small windows on both sides of the façade, as well as rain awnings, ventilation tiles, and a police emblem (which is no longer present). The walls and roof of the mansion were restored in 2019, and the original entrance columns and flagpole base are still preserved nearby. The Japanese-style residence collapsed around the 1980s and only remnants remain.
