Dormitory First Level Colour:White Roto Feeder at Yarraville

Roto Feeder at Yarraville

Sunlight falls across the entrance threshold of Seika Dormitory

a postwar government school that closed with 220 students on the roll

catching suspended dust above surfaces long undisturbed

vehicles and promotional posters left behind when the business closed

Dormitory First Level Colour:White Roto Feeder at YarravilleSunlight reaches the first level of Seika Dormitory through broken windows, settling across discarded furniture and walls where the plaster has begun to lift. Built in 1927 by the Gakuso Foundation to house Taiwanese students studying in Tokyo, the reinforced concrete building stood in Kohinata, Bunkyo ku for 80 years before a fire in July 2007 displaced its final residents. Part of the Seika Dormitory series.
