Eun Heon Historic House, Jinju

The anchae, the main house, measures six bays across the front and two bays in depth, with toet bays at both front and rear, and is built with a five-purlin frame, single eaves and a hip-and-gable roof. Constructing the anchae's front in six bays is rare among private houses; the entire front half-bay was made into toet bays, and the room spaces were further extended by a half-bay toet at the rear. The platform is built of squared, dressed stones, topped with roughly dressed stones laid as foundation stones; round columns were used at the front, while the remaining columns are square. Both the anchae and the sarangchae, the men's quarters, are large in scale, with finely decorated frames, giving the house considerable academic value for the study of the housing of the landowning class in the late Joseon period. It also remains in good condition.
