今日的松山文創園區，原來的全名為「臺灣總督府專賣局松山煙草工場」，於1939年啟用，是當年臺灣總督府繼臺北煙草工場之後，為因應龐大的香菸需求，在臺北興建的第二座煙草工場。
松山煙草工場的位置在台北州七星郡松山庄的興雅地區，臺灣總督府選址經過策略性考量，靠近水源、鐵路和公路等基礎設施，將有助於工場的營運與運輸。同一時期在這塊區域建立了大型鐵路設施──臺北鐵道工場（於1934年遷移至松山新廠），此張照片便是例證！照片左上角處的空曠場域，就是松山煙草工場的興建預定地。
What is now the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park originally opened in 1939 as the Songshan Tobacco Factory of the Taiwan Governor-General Monopoly Bureau. It became the second tobacco factory built in Taipei, following the Taipei Tobacco Factory, and was constructed by the Governor-General's office to meet the growing demand for tobacco products.
Songshan Tobacco Factory was located in the Xingya area of Songshan District in Taipei Prefecture. The Governor-General of Taiwan strategically chose the site due to its proximity to water sources, railways, and roads, all of which are essential factors for factory operations and transport. During the same period, a large railway facility, the Taipei Railway Workshop, was built in this area (relocated to Songshan District in 1934). The open area shown in the upper left corner of this photograph is the planned site for the Songshan Tobacco Factory.
