Former Daehwa Corporation Office, Incheon

The office of the Daehwa Corporation (Daehwa-jo) was the office building of a stevedoring company that handled cargo at Incheon Port from the port-opening period through the Japanese colonial period. It is built in the machiya style, a type of modern Japanese building combining a shop and a residence. As the only surviving machiya-style building in Incheon's former Japanese concession, it has high value in the history of architecture, and it also carries great historical significance as the site where dockworkers were exploited for their labour during the Japanese colonial period.
