Gangneung Bak Chi-gyu House

This house is said to have been built around 1910 by the father of the present owner, though the exact date of construction is not known. It stands with its back to a low hill, facing a stretch of coastal forest and open fields, and has a square, courtyard-enclosed layout in the shape of the Korean letter ㅁ. The main house (anchae) measures four kan across the front and two kan along the side; to the left of the kitchen are the main room (anbang), an upper room (sangbang) and a men's room (sarangbang), with a storeroom and a stable set in front. The detached men's quarters (sarangchae) contain a wooden-floored hall (daecheong), a storeroom and a room, with a narrow wooden porch at the front connecting to the daecheong and linking the rooms together. The storage building (heotganchae) has an L-shaped plan and is used as a storeroom and a chicken coop.
