Abstract
10 official residences, for foreign professors of Hokkaido Imperial University and Otaru Higher Commercial School, were built between 1925 and 1927. We have been able to ascertain the outline of these residences, by statement and old photos from former residents, and by the historical materials and plans which were kept at Hokkaido University and Otaru University of Commerce. These residences used the improved Japanese-style fittings, and were designed for protection against cold. They can be said to the best advanced example of the improvement of houses in Hokkaido at the end of Taisho era.
