Liu Shui Shi Introduction
The Water Measuring Room is a rectangular brick and reinforced concrete building used for measuring the outflow of the reservoir at Little Guanyin Mountain. The original construction date and design are unknown due to lost records, but property registration documents suggest that the building was completed in March 1913 (the 2nd year of the Republic). It was retired after the Gongguan Water Purification Plant was completed in 1977 (the 66th year of the Republic). The building is excavated downward to meet functional needs, with decorative grooves and lines on the surface, and the corners feature exposed red bricks. The windows and window frames of the Water Measuring Room are semi-circular arches on top and square shapes on the bottom. It is estimated that this building was an addition after the completion of the main Taipei waterway project, yet it still exhibits an overall planned design with related facilities.
