Historic House in Changwon-ri, Yeongwol

Set with its back to a hill, this house has a main hall (anchae) and a men's quarters (sarangchae) joined together to form a U-shaped layout; with a single straight range used as a storage shed added to the plan, the whole forms an enclosed, quadrangular courtyard layout. In the main hall, a side room, the inner room and the kitchen are arranged at right angles to the right of a wooden-floored hall (daecheong) fitted with a narrow veranda (toenmaru). To the left, a side room (geonneonbang) adjoins to form an L-shaped plan, a style found in the vernacular houses of the Yeongseo and central regions. Seen from the side, the roof of the men's quarters is a hipped-and-gabled (paljak) roof, shaped like the Chinese character for eight (八), giving the building a tall and graceful appearance.
