History
The barn was built in 1928 by Fuxing Farmers' Association during the Japanese rule and was originally designed to store rice from different regions in Fuxing Township. The barn was the largest Japanese-style barn in central Taiwan. It was designated as a historic site in 2003.
Architecture
The barn was built by rough shell rice, rice straw and clay for its walls. It is equipped with a rice mill room for the production facilities. It consists of three main buildings, which are a grain store, a mill and a rice store. The roof windows were intended to dissipate heat.
