Former Jinhae Defense Unit Command Headquarters

Built in 1912, this building was constructed as the command headquarters of the Jinhae Defense Unit, a Japanese naval base established in Jinhae during the Japanese colonial period. It was subsequently used as the Republic of Korea Navy Operations Command building, and is now used by the Republic of Korea Navy Logistics Command. The building has a symmetrical plan, with an entrance porch projecting from the centre of the front facade, above which square pilasters emphasise its frontality. It is richly decorated with red brick combined with finely finished white granite, giving the whole elevation a dignified appearance.
