Sunamwi Head House

Sunamwi Head House is the head house of the Sunamwi branch of the Jeonju Ryu clan. It was first built when Ryu Won, pen name Sunamwi (1540–1567), settled in Bakgok-ri, Imdong-myeon, Andong. The building was lost to fire around 1700 and was rebuilt around 1850 in the shape of the character 日 (sun), then rebuilt again in 1922 into its present form. It was later moved to its current location in 1987 when Musil village in Bakgok-ri was submerged by the Imha Dam reservoir. The building consists of a main hall in a straight, one-stroke (一) line, with the lower quarters in front forming an L-shape (ㄱ). In the main hall, a kitchen, main room, wooden-floored hall, room and another wooden-floored hall follow in sequence from the left. The room to the right of the wooden-floored hall is divided into four small rooms arranged like the character 田 (field). The lower quarters consist of two ondol, or heated-floor, rooms and two storage rooms.
