From family home to military village
The three-sided courtyard was completed in 1925, following the marriage of Lin Mao-yang and Lai Duan (賴端); the two-storey Western house followed in 1930. A military provisions factory acquired the property in 1950, and it became part of Yide New Village (一德新村). The military families left in 2008. Listed as a historic building in 2007, the residence reopened after restoration in 2015.
Food memories at Beitun New Village
A February 2026 Culture Bureau announcement highlighted a noodle-culture exhibition at the military dependents’ village museum in Beitun New Village (北屯新村). It connected a century of everyday food memories with local wheat, interactive exhibits and science education.
