Republic of China in 1978, the houses were abandoned. However, the Bank of Taiwan began renting out part of the houses to locals, including such noted people as Lin Yang-kang and Stan Lai.[2] Other houses taken over by the Council for Economic Planning and Development are now residences for employees of the American Institute in Taiwan
(AIT).
