Overview
"Dongheon" refers to the administrative building or headquarters for the top city official of the Joseon dynasty. This tile-roofed house measures six kan (traditional Korean measuring unit), or approximately 14.4 meters, on the front, two kan (4.8 meters) on the side and is 3.3 meters in height. Records carved on its gate show that the wooden house was constructed in 1407. The house, which is characteristic of late Joseon dynasty architecture, was once used as Daeheung-myeon office, but was dismantled and restored to its original appearance in 1979.
