Korea Heritage Service · khs.go.krBuilt in 1927, this building was constructed with birthday offerings received by Mrs Winsborough, and designed by the Southern Presbyterian missionary Swinehart, who had trained as an architect. It has a symmetrical double-loaded corridor plan, with a charming projecting porch at the front entrance that makes a striking impression. The triangular gable roof above this projecting porch, supported by round columns of the Tuscan Order, is a distinctive feature not found on any other school building.
