Official Residence of Jangsu Police Station

This building was built in 1934 as the official residence of the chief of the police station, and takes the plan form of a Japanese-style house in which rooms are connected via a central corridor. The exterior walls of the front section, including the entrance, are finished in cement mortar, while part of the side walls and the rear are finished in wooden clapboard, a distinctive style combining the two techniques. The roof is of a complex form, made mainly of Japanese-style tiles, with overlapping hipped roofs and lean-to roofs added around the perimeter. The internal layout and arrangement of rooms have changed considerably to suit changing ways of life, but the exterior retains its original appearance well.
