The police station building was originally built in February 1898 as
Yuan Dinglinzibian Police Station at Fusing Street. Soon, public school, market and township office were set up around the neighborhood, turning the area into a political and economic center for Linyuan. In 1907, it was renamed
Linzibian Police Station and underwent renovation in 1909 as what it is today. After the
handover of Taiwan from Japan to the
Republic of China in 1945, the government took over the police station and put it under the administration of
Fongshan District. In 1958, it was restructured as
Linyuan Police Station. In 1989, the police station was relocated to its current address at Linyuan North Road due to space congestion at Fusing Street. Ever since, the abandoned building served as police dormitory building with parts of the building remained unoccupied. In 2007, the Bureau of Cultural Affairs declared the former police station as a historical building. The building then went renovation and reparation which was completed in 2009. ==Architecture==
