Former Chohung Bank, Daejeon Branch

Built in 1951, this building was constructed as the Daejeon branch of Chohung Bank, and is now used as the Shinhan Bank Daejeon Station Financial Centre. It is a two-storey reinforced-concrete structure finished with unadorned flat granite panels; breaking away from the classical exterior of conventional bank architecture, it is a modernist building that is simple, with decoration kept to a minimum, yet harmoniously composed overall. It well illustrates the trend in modern Korean architecture influenced by Western functionalist architecture of the mid-20th century.
