Baiyun Police Station Introduction
The Xizhi Baiyun Police Station is a historical building located in the Xizhi District of New Taipei City. It was originally the Shisanfeng Police Station, built during the Japanese colonial period in 1920, and is also known as the Baiyun Police Station. The building maintains its old appearance and is adjacent to the Shisanfeng training ground related to the Lukou incident during the White Terror period, which was later transformed into Baiyun Elementary School. The Shisanfeng area in Xizhi established the "Shisanfeng Police Station" in 1901, under the jurisdiction of the Keelung Office and the Jinbaoli Sub-office. In 1920, it was reallocated to the Xizhi branch of the Police Department of Qixing County, Taipei Prefecture, and renamed "Shisanfeng Police Station." The current structure was completed on May 22, 1939, featuring a洋館 (Western-style building) for administrative offices on the south side and a 和館 (traditional Japanese-style building) serving as police dormitories on the north side. The洋館 has a gable roof, long windows, small ventilation windows, a rain awning, and a police emblem (now missing). The walls and roof of the洋館 were restored in 2019, and the original entrance pillars and flagpole base from that era still remain nearby. The 和館, however, collapsed in the 1980s and only remnants remain.
