The 34-building Japanese housing complex on Chingtien St. was designed and built by the professors from Taihoku Imperial University (now National Taiwan University) themselves. Because the Japanese highly valued education, professors enjoyed extremely high social status and were very well paid. Naturally, they were especially demanding when it came to architecture.
座落在青田街總共 34 棟的日式宿舍群，由日據時代台北帝國大學（今台灣大學）教授自己籌建，由於日本人對於教育的重視，教授位階崇高，待遇優渥，自然對於建築也特別講究。
