Former Buan Financial Association

This building is a modern office building that was constructed as a financial institution during the Japanese colonial period, later used by Buan Agricultural Cooperative, and is now used as the Buan History and Culture Hall. The plan is 'ㄷ'-shaped (U-shaped); visitors enter the office space through the central front entrance, and corridors on either side connect to the various rooms of the extended wing. It was a small financial association building set up to support the Japanese policy of economic exploitation, and it served as a leading instrument in extracting rice produced in Buan, a region of fertile rice paddies, for Japan.
