Missionary Training Center of the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea, Seoul

Built in 1921 and used as a residence for Canadian Presbyterian missionaries to Korea, this building speaks eloquently to the history of the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea. Residential buildings from this period survive in only small numbers, giving it high rarity value, and it was also an important base of activity for pro-democracy figures during the Yushin era, the authoritarian rule of President Park Chung-hee in the 1970s. Although the interior has been altered, with partitions added, this is a modern building whose original form remains well preserved.
