This is the office and residence of the president of Taiwan Sugar Co., Ltd. It is also a masonry and reinforced concrete structure designed in the early days of the Japanese occupation to defend against the raids of the anti-Japanese elements, so the social house office was a strong defensive fortress at that time! Since it is a defensive fortress, in addition to the fort on the top, there are also square gun holes on the parapet around the cloister for combat. In addition, there is also a basement below the house, which is used to store food and hide women and children in the event of an attack.
