Former Ilbonje58 Bank, Incheon

This building was the Incheon branch of the 58th Bank of Japan, whose head office was in Osaka. It was later merged with several other banks and became Yasuda Bank. After Korea's liberation, Joheung Bank used it as its Incheon branch for a time; when Joheung Bank moved into a newly built building in 1958, this building became the Gyeonggi branch office of the Korean Red Cross, and it is now used by the Incheon Jung-gu Catering Business Association. The second floor is notable for its unusual balcony and dormer windows, and the roof rises in a double slope, giving the building a Renaissance character with a distinctly French atmosphere.
