The Eomyeonggi House is
a Korean traditional house
located in Eo village in
Sampo-ri, Jukwang-myeon.
It was first built in the
1500's, lost around the
1750's, then rebuilt three
years later. It has preserved
the 'old wealthy classes
house form in its original
form' in a 37pyeong sized
squire form, and was declared
national important traditional
data number131 on January
10th of 1984.
The form of the house is
a midorijip with octagonal
roof, and is stacked straight
up on the high foundation
rock to make an ark. Other
than the main building is
a foot mill, servants’
rooms, a barn, and the toilet.
Due to the abrasion of the
foot mill, the building
is supposed to have been
built at least 250 years
ago.
In the estate development
of the North in 1946, the
house was seized and used
as an office of the People’s
Committee. During the Korean
War it was used as the Korean
military first corps headquarters
hospital, and in the year
1987 it went through compensation
and improvement with a budget
of 27,000,000 Korean won.
This house was bought by
Eomyeonggi, who is the great
grandfather of the current
owner of the Eomyeonggi
House, as farmland some
3,000 pyeong in the 1860's.
On his will, there is said
to be a request to his descendants
never to sell the land. |
