Nearly a century ago, in 1913, during the Japanese occupation, the colonial government in Taipei spent over ￥ 56,000 on the construction of the Peitou Hot Springs Public Baths; it was built in a faux-English style, with thick, sturdy European-style outer walls and a Japanese-style roof.
將近一百年前，西元一九一三年、日據時期大正二年，當時的台北州政府斥資日幣五萬六千餘圓，興建了有著厚實歐洲外牆、日式屋頂，「仿英國鄉村建築」式樣的北投溫泉公共浴場。
