Located on Yanping South Road in Zhongzheng District, the Futai Street Mansion is one of the oldest buildings in Taipei City. It was built in 1910 during the Japanese colonial period, and at the time was the only two-story Western-style store building in the city.

The first floor was made of stone, its delicate arcade easily noticeable by passers-by. The second floor was originally made of wood, its roof of copper. The dormer windows on its sloping roof allowed excellent ventilation.

The mansion was declared a historical site in 1997 by the Taipei City Government. In 2002, a fire destroyed the second story, and the Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government soon launched a renovation of the mansion.
