The building was built in 1931 and originally housed exhibits of educational achievements in Taiwan during Japanese colonial rule, and served as a venue for regular gatherings.

Later, it was rented by the United States Information Service as the American Cultural Center, which moved out when the lease was due.

Its design was directed by Ide Kaoru, the chief of the Japanese colonial government's civil engineering section, and was thus quite similar to that of the Taipei Assembly Hall.

Its eclectic modern style includes exterior walls with brown face brick and a parapet with washed terrazzo in a geometrical pattern.
