The 1913 Antique Office of Alishan House-Local Cultural Building () is a museum in Alishan National Scenic Area, Alishan Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan.

History The site where the museum stands today used to be a club for the forestry agency employees during the Japanese rule of Taiwan which was constructed in 1913 in a three building complex. A fire engulfed the two buildings, which left only one building until today. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China, the building was used as a guest house. On 15 August 2018, the building was reopened as a museum named 1913 Antique Office of Alishan House-Local Cultural Building.
