The building was originally built in 1922 as
Nantou District Produce Exhibition. In 1945 after
World War II, the building was used to station troops and it was also rented out as a hotel. In 1951, the health center of Nantou County began its operation in the building until it was relocated in 1960. The Nantou County Library was then moved to the building until 1982 when
Nantou County Culture Center took over its place. In 1983, the hall was renovated by
Nantou City Government and set up as
Longquan Nursery. The nursery was damaged by the
921 earthquake on 21 September 1999. Soon after that, the
Executive Yuan approved an approximate NT$3 million of public facility restoration funds to repair the hall. The building was reopened as
Jufang Hall on 27 August 2001. ==Architecture==
