The Lin Chih-Chu Memorial Hall was originally the residence of Lin Chih-Chu, built in 1928. It is a typical wooden dormitory from the Japanese colonial period. Besides preserving the original structure from that time, it also witnesses the development of the city along the Liuchuan River, while documenting Lin Chih-Chu's life and accomplishments. In 2007, Taichung City registered it as a historical building under the name "Lin Chih-Chu Studio." In 2013, National Taichung University of Education conducted a renovation and reuse project, and after the restoration in 2015, it was opened for free visits.
