Located at the intersection of Nanhai Road and Quanzhou Street in Taipei City, it was originally the "Taiwan Education Hall," built in 1931 to showcase Taiwan's educational achievements and host art exhibitions such as the Taiwan Fine Arts Exhibition, and was also used for regular gatherings. The building was designed by Ide Kaoru, head of the Governor-General's Office's Construction Section, and its style is similar to that of the Public Hall, adopting an eclectic style of modern architecture. The exterior is covered with brown tiles, and the parapet features decorative geometric patterns made of washed aggregate. After World War II in 1945, it was briefly used as a meeting place for the Provincial Assembly. After 1959, it was rented by the US Information Service in Taiwan. After the severance of diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the US in 1979, it was renamed the "American Cultural Center" and continued to be used until 2001. Subsequently, a five-year historical site restoration project was carried out. On February 28, 2007, it was officially designated as the "228 Peace Memorial Museum," and officially opened on February 28, 2011. This building was recognized as a Taipei City Designated Historic Site in 1993. Among Taipei's modern historical buildings, it holds significant historical meaning from the 1930s and carries the progress of Taiwan's modern history.
