Architect Wu Kuang-ting, on the other hand, describes the shape of the building thus: "The wings to the right and left are like two massive epaulettes, while the central section is like a tall military cap, and the decorations on its facade resemble the braid on the cap."
而建築師吳光庭則形容總督府的建築型制說：「左右像堅挺的墊肩，中央像高聳的軍帽，細部裝飾像軍帽帽穗。」
