Hwasun Agricultural Cooperative, Dongbu Branch

Built around 1922, with the present building newly constructed in 1954. This building was built as a financial facility during the Japanese colonial period, and the present structure, erected in 1954, is now used as the Hwasun Agricultural Cooperative. A distinctive feature is the secondary entrances placed at the front's left and right corners and on the left side, which improved accessibility as a financial institution. The horizontal elements of the upper and lower lintels and the cornice band beneath the eaves, together with the vertical elements of the tall, narrow windows and the chimney, give the building a modern formal character.
