History

Beimen Station was originally known as Hokumon Station (北門駅, Hokumon-eki),[5] and opened east of the old Taiwan Railway Administration Building on 17 August 1915.[6] It was a terminus for the Tamsui Line. It was an at-grade station with side platforms. This station was closed on 6 March 1923.[7]
The Taipei Metro station opened on 15 November 2014.[8]
Construction
editExcavation depth for this station is around 32 m (105 ft 0 in). It is 171 m (561 ft 0 in) in length and 32 m (105 ft 0 in) wide. It has four exits, one of which is integrated with the South Wing of the National Taiwan Museum.[3]
Taipei Workshop, a Grade 3 historical monument constructed during the era of Japanese rule, was exactly where the future Beimen station would be located. Thus, a removal project commenced on 20 October 2006 to temporarily move the structure until construction of both the Songshan line and the Taoyuan Airport MRT are completed.[9][10] The building was moved 30 meters (98 ft 5 in) to the southeast, and was moved back when construction was completed.[11]
