Former Sanil Silk Reeling Factory, Sejong Pen and Ink Document by 23 Signers in Commemoration of

This is the building of the original Sanil Silk Reeling Factory (a jesa-gongjang, a factory that produces thread from silkworm cocoons). Its sawtooth-shaped roof was designed with tall windows set into the north-facing slopes so as to let even light into the interior, a feature that gives the building significance for understanding the architecture of silk-reeling factories as early industrial heritage. The building was also used as a temporary school for Jochiwon Girls' High School during the Korean War, giving it great value for preservation as a structure of local and historical significance.
