Lee Kuo-ting Residence Introduction
The ancestral home was built in 1935, originally serving as the residence of the Minister of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau of the Japanese Colonial Government. After the war, it was repurposed as the residence for the Director-General of the Finance Department of Taiwan Provincial Government. In 1972, Mr. Lee Kuo-ting moved in as the Minister of Finance and lived there until his passing. Lee Kuo-ting was a key figure in Taiwan's economic development. From entering the finance sector in 1953 until he served as a Senior Adviser to the President from 1988, he made outstanding contributions to Taiwan's industry, economy, finance, and high-tech industry, earning him the titles of the architect of the Taiwanese economic miracle and the father of technology, with achievements recognized both domestically and internationally. In 2003, the Taipei City Government designated Lee Kuo-ting's residence as a city historic site and built an exhibition hall beside it; the entire residence was opened to the public on May 31, 2010.
