Daeheung Dongheon (대흥동헌)

"Dongheon" refers to the administrative building or headquarters for the top city official of the Joseon dynasty. This tile-roofed house measures six <em>kan</em> (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 x_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.
