西門紅樓(The Red House)自1908年興築完成迄今已逾百年,
原是台灣第一座官方興建的公營市場,
亦是目前保存最古老完整的三級古蹟市場建築物,
由當時任職臺灣總督府營繕課的日籍建築師近藤十郎設計。

The Red House, a Western-style red-brick octagonal structure in Taipei's Ximen space
built in 1908, is Taiwan's first public market and the most well preserved
class III historical site. Designed by Kondo Juro, a western-styled architect in the
prefectural civil engineering office at the time.
I change the building structure from octangle to corner building.
The red house is octangle building, but the design of the walls are same.
I think only three walls can display the characteristic of The Red House very well.
