National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, Former Chungcheong Provincial Office, Daejeon Former Official Residence No. 1, 2, 5, and 6 of

Built in 1958. This building was constructed as a government office for managing the quality of agricultural products and was designed by Bae Han-gu, an architect based in Daejeon. The entrance is arched, and the building is notable for the box-shaped window frames projecting from its outer walls and the vertical blinds installed above the windows to block the strong western sunlight. It clearly shows the trend in modern Korean architecture influenced by the Western functionalist architecture of the mid-20th century, and in 1999, the "Year of Architectural Culture", it was selected as one of "Daejeon's 40 Fine Buildings". After the office of the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service relocated in 1999, the building reopened in 2008 as the Daejeon Changjak Center (Daejeon Creative Center) of the Daejeon Museum of Art, and continues to be used as such.
