This wood frame house was built in 1937 and pulled down in 1996. Twenty-nine man-days were needed to pull it down. The structural members included Taiwan red cypress sills, Taiwan red cypress and China fir floor beams, Japanese cedar columns and end cross beams, China fir and Japanese cedar tie beams, hardwood species roof posts, and China fir and Japanese cedar purlins. Nails, dowels, bolts, dog irons, and fish plate boils were used as connectors. End joints used included snake head, scarf with tenon, tapered scarf, and dovetail. Lap joints used included dovetail, halved tenon, and halved tenon with tongue. As for the residual bending strength ratio of members, the tie beam had the largest value, and China fir floor beams the least. For the compression strength, all members except those made of China fir retained their original strength.
