The Taipei Story House ({{zh|c=台北故事館|p=Táiběi Gùshì Guǎn}}), formerly known as the Yuanshan Mansion ({{zh|c=圓山別莊|poj=Îⁿ-soaⁿ Pia̍t-chong}}), is a historic house in Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. It is currently open as a museum in the Taipei Expo Park.
Overview
The house was built in 1913–14 during Japanese rule by Tan Tiau-chun (陳朝駿), a Daitōtei tea merchant.[http://eng.taiwan.net.tw/m1.aspx?sNo=0002090&id=3408 Taipei Story House],[http://eng.taiwan.net.tw/ Discover Taiwan].[http://www.taipeitravel.net/user/Article.aspx?Lang=2&SNo=04000552 Taipei Story House], [http://www.taipeitravel.net/ Taipei Travel].

The ground floor was built using brick and the upper floors of wood with English Tudor-style beams. The staircase is constructed to look like a pagoda. The gable above the entrance features stained glass in green, yellow and red. Two fireplaces can be found inside, with large numbers of Art Nouveau tiles and ceiling lamps with bas-relief floral patterns. {{Cn|date=July 2021}}
The Story House museum now has exhibits related to tea and local history. It is located adjacent to the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and close to Yuanshan Station.{{Cn|date=July 2021}}{{Cite web |date=January 8, 2019 |title=台北故事館 |trans-title=Taipei Story House |url=https://www.tripadvisor.com.tw/ShowUserReviews-g13808671-d4049439-r647959219-Taipei_Story_House-Zhongshan_District_Taipei.html |access-date=June 11, 2022 |website=TripAdvisor |language=zh-hant}}
