Main Building of Former Yongsan Railroad Hospital, Seoul

This hospital building, with two storeys above ground, was rebuilt in 1928 with a reinforced-concrete structure finished in red brick. It symbolically represents Yongsan, which developed into a new urban district as a railway base during the Japanese colonial period. It retains the structure, materials and spatial composition of its original construction, and with its restrained ornamentation shows the transitional character of architecture moving from Western classical style towards modern architecture.
