Jeon Hyeong-pil’s House in Banghak-dong, Seoul

This house preserves the traces of Gansong Jeon Hyeong-pil, a guardian of national heritage who, during the Japanese colonial period, protected and collected Korean cultural heritage that was being plundered and worked to retrieve national heritage items that had been taken out of the country. It holds high cultural and historical conservation value, and as a traditional hanok of over 100 years it also carries great architectural value. According to a commemorative bronze plaque marking the construction of Deokhyeonggwan, most of the total building costs were borne by the students' parents, and according to the testimony of Chu Wol-yeong, the school's principal at the time (given at a 40th-anniversary graduation event in June 1997), it is said that Yun Gye-seong, a local community leader, made a large donation that greatly helped complete the Deokhyeonggwan building work, which had been at risk of being halted.
