Wonseo-dong Baek Hong-beom House

The house consists of a main hall (anchae) and a separate wing (byeolchae), both built recently as a traditional Korean wooden tile-roofed structure, along with a small detached room set apart to the south-east. The separate wing faces south and contains a timber-floored hall (daecheong) and a side room (geonneonbang); the main room (anbang) lies to the south of the hall, and the kitchen is further south of the main room. The hall has three bays with glass doors on both the front and back, and the side room has a half-bay wooden floor on its east side fitted with a door leading through to a side passage. There is a broad yard in front of the building and a garden to the south-west. The house retains the typical elements of a small Korean dwelling relatively well, but the modern techniques found in various parts appear to date from alterations made during recent repairs.
