USTDC Main Gate

This was the main gate to USTDC. You're facing east (more or less) here and just across the road to your left was the river. I don't recall the name of the road, but perhaps some kind soul can provide that in Comments.

Because I normally walked to work from the hostel, I very rarely went in or out this gate.

If you were to look to your right from this spot today, you would see the Fine Arts Museum.

According to a 1959 map of Taipei, the name of the road was Hsinsheng North Road.

I don't remember this gate , but most of the time I came in the back way with my car. We always called the road out front Canal Road??? but who knows.

Hi Don,
My name is Mike Ortiz. I was stationed at USTDC from 1973 to 1975 as the Navy Lithographer at the Print Shop. I remember Al Choy at the Photo Shop and Mr Chew, the Barber. I had a great time in Taiwan and the pictures brought back many memories. I'm back in my home town,Tucson, Arizona, and would like to hear from anyone stationed at USTDC.

Thanks,

Mike Ortiz
