Gyeonggyojang
One of my favorite pieces of colonial-era architecture, the Gyeonggyojang was built in 1938 as the residence of Choe Chang-hak, a Korean gold mining magnate. It was designed by Kim Se-yeon, one of Korea's first practitioners of Western architecture.
It is more famous as the post-Liberation residence of independence activist and politician "Baekbeom" Kim Koo, who was assassinated in his second floor office on June 26, 1949.
