Former Joseon Provisions Corporation, Gunsan Branch

The Gunsan branch of the Joseon Provisions Corporation is a two-storey reinforced-concrete building with a flat reinforced-concrete slab roof. Its plan is broadly L-shaped, with the street corner rounded and topped by a symbolic vertical form that emphasises the building's centrality. It was the Gunsan branch of the Joseon Provisions Corporation, a body the state established after the Second Sino-Japanese War to control and manage the price and distribution of grain, and it is valuable as evidence bearing witness to the history of rice exploitation by Japan in the Honam plain region during the Japanese colonial period.
