Sonbyeongsun Old House in Gyo-dong, Miryang

This is an old house in Gyo-dong. Its exact construction date is unknown, but it is thought to have been built around 1900. The outbuilding in the inner courtyard is of recent construction; a storehouse is said to have originally stood on its site. The main house measures six kan across the front and two kan deep, with a gabled roof that, seen from the side, resembles the Chinese character "person" (人). There are narrow verandah bays at front and back, and the kitchen section has been extended to connect with the sarangchae, the men's quarters. The sarangchae is three kan across the front, with a verandah at the front. A five-kan middle-gate wing joins the sarangchae at a right angle. The house well illustrates the layout characteristics of an urban-style hanok built on a narrow residential plot.
