Incheon Post Office

From The Cultural Heritage Administration:

 

This building, with large pillar-like poles flanking the entrance, was constructed in 1924 in the simplified form of the then popular eclectic style.

 

It does not have the characteristic round dome-like roof, however.

 

It was built with red bricks and has a concrete basement.

 

Granite was used only along the lower part while the upper part was done with cement mortar in a stone-bolck pattern.

 

At that time, most public office buildings were built in such a way, though planes and other details varied.

 

Part of the roof was rebuilt after it was damaged during the Korean War.
