This eight-sided building is today's Red House Theater. Local superstition is the reason behind the eight-sided architecture and people first called it the "Octagon Market," but since it was built entirely of red brick people gradually began referring to it as the "Red House."
至於為何要建「八角樓」，據說是為了鎮邪，當時台灣人都稱這棟八角樓為「八卦樓」，再加上全樓壁體以紅磚砌成，遂稱紅樓。
