The Fuxing Barn (Chinese: 福興穀倉; pinyin: Fúxìng Gǔcāng) is a former barn in Fuxing Township, Changhua County, Taiwan.[1]
History
The barn was built in 1928 by Fuxing Farmers' Association and was originally designed to store rice from different regions in Fuxing Township. The barn was the largest Japanese-style barn in central Taiwan.[2] 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.[3]
