Annex of Former Jinhae Defense Unit Command Headquarters

Built around 1912, this building is the annex of the command headquarters of the Jinhae Defence Unit, a Japanese naval base established at Jinhae during the Japanese colonial period. It has a symmetrical plan, with the central section and both end sections projecting forward and back, each topped with a gabled roof to emphasise the building's frontal appearance; three ventilation towers were installed along the roof ridge to keep the roof frame from rotting. Compared with the grand and ornate design of the main building, the annex has a simpler design, but as a Western-style building of the 1910s it shows excellent architectural detailing.
