Hong Jong-mun House in Chebu-dong

This is a hanok built in the 1910s on a spacious site with a pond and a garden. The use of structural members and the treatment of the stylobate (gidan) show well the appearance of the so-called 'improved hanok' of this period, and it is also distinctive in that the sarangchae, the men's quarters, is not separated from the rest of the house. It is a traditional hanok of the Japanese colonial period whose original form is well preserved, and the building retains its own distinctive charm.
