The Railway Department of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office, a national historic site, was the site of the Taipei Machinery Bureau during the Qing Dynasty and Taiwan's first modern train repair industrial park, later becoming the management center for Taiwan's railway transportation. After the completion of the new Taipei Station in 1989 and the relocation of the Taiwan Railways Administration, the space remained vacant. Starting in 2006, the National Taiwan Museum collaborated with the Taiwan Railways Administration to transform the Railway Department into a museum park. The park contains six national historic buildings: the main hall, canteen, octagonal building, power room, engineering office, and wartime command center (air-raid shelter), all constructed during the Japanese occupation. The main hall, completed in 1920, is a semi-timbered structure using a large amount of Alishan cypress wood, with a brick-on-wood upper structure. Its exterior is in the Queen Anne Revival style, featuring red brick and white imitation stone, and along with the octagonal building, is a representative work of Moriyama Matsunosuke, a technician in the Taiwan Governor-General's Office's Construction Department, during his later years in Taiwan.
