Damyang Kim Seon-gi House

This old house stands at the top of Jangsan-ri village. It is said to have been first built in 1603, the 36th year of King Seonjo of Joseon, and repaired in 1825, the 25th year of King Sunjo. The house consists broadly of a main hall (anchae), a men's quarters (sarangchae) and a shrine (sadang). The anchae is a U-shaped building, five bays wide and two bays deep; from left to right it is arranged with a kitchen, a small side room, a large room, a wooden-floored hall (daecheong) and a small room. The sarangchae, known as Mang-indang, measures four bays wide and two bays deep, with an extra bay of eaves space (toe-kan) at the front. Seen from the side, its roof is a hipped-and-gabled roof shaped like the character for 'eight', and the building has the form of a raised pavilion (nu). A railing was fitted along the front, and round pillars were set beneath the pavilion floor. The house overall is low in height and built in an unusual, archaic structural style.
