Kim U-yeol House

Built in the late nineteenth century, this house comprises an anchae (main quarters), a sarangchae (men's quarters) and a heotganchae (shed building), arranged overall in an open square (ㅁ-shaped) layout. The anchae is L-shaped (ㄱ-shaped), with a daecheong (wooden-floored hall) at its centre, a kitchen and anbang (main bedroom) to its left, and a geonneonbang (side room) to its right — a floor plan typical of the central region. The sarangchae, laid out in a straight line to the south of the anchae, has the main gate and a gatekeeper's room on the left, and a daecheong and sarangbang (men's reception room) on the right, so that it also serves the function of a haengnangchae (servants' quarters). The house shows traces of the refined building techniques of the late Joseon period.
