This is the oldest building in Sorokdo, where treatment and hospital administration were carried out in the early age of Sorokdo Jahye Hospital. The building is characterized by red bricks making up the wall and cement blocks and wooden finish of the extended building. Sorokdo Jahye Hospital was a Hansen’s disease-specific hospital opened during the Japanese Colonial era, although there were private leprosariums in Gwangju, Busan, and Daegu ran by foreign missionaries at the time. Therefore, this building is recognized not only for its architectural features but also its value as a modern building (monument) that was the foundation for a hospital specializing in Hansen’s disease in Sorokdo. |
