Seoul’s Folk Asset No.8

384-1, Pil-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul

Plan with square shaped women’s quarters and perpendicular shaped men’s
quarters

Building area: 82.46 square meters

This house was built by Kin Chun-yeong , one of the five military commanders of Seoul in the 1890s. The buildings were recently moved to this village from their original site in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
The ladies’ quarters are U-shaped and the men’s quarters, arranged in a straight line, were attached to one end of the opening of the U to form a ladle shape. The roof frame above the main wood floor room is comprised of five main beams.
The buildings with thick plank posts and single eaves closely resemble those of commoners’ homes. However, the rear wall of the main living room in the ladies’ quarters facing the main road was built with wainscot and dressed stones-which further heightens the beauty of the building.
