Taiping Elementary School

Taiping Elementary was founded on October 1, 1898, during the Japanese colonial era, as Dadaocheng Public School (大稻埕公學校), inheriting the lineage of the 1896-established Taipei Mandarin Training Institute. It became parent school to several other Datong-area elementary schools: its female branch split off in 1911 to become today's Penglai Elementary, and a 1915 branch campus became today's Rixin Elementary. The school was renamed Taipei Yanping District Taiping National Elementary School in 1968, then Taipei Datong District Taiping National Elementary School in 1990 after Taipei's administrative-district reorganization. In 1968, funds donated by Taiping parents helped build the "Pingyue Overpass" (平樂陸橋), reportedly Taipei's first pedestrian overpass, which was preserved even as most of the city's other overpasses were later demolished.

太平國小創校於1898年（明治31年）10月1日日治時期，初名「大稻埕公學校」，承襲1896年設立的「台北國語傳習所」之學脈。該校後來成為大同區多所國小的母校：1911年女子部獨立設校，成為今日的蓬萊國小；1915年設立的分校則成為今日的日新國小。1968年更名為「臺北市延平區太平國民小學」，1990年台北市行政區重劃後改為「臺北市大同區太平國民小學」。1968年，太平國小家長捐款興建「平樂陸橋」，據稱是全台北第一座人行天橋，即使台北市其他天橋陸續拆除，這座天橋仍被保留至今。
