Former British Consulate at Takao ( Kaohsiung) , Taiwan built in 1866. The building stood the ravages of time until the end of the 20th Century when it was badly damaged in a typhoon. The front facade, however, remained basically intact with some of the interior walls still extant. In the early 2000s it was declared a monument and has been restored as a museum.
