Care should be taken when walking through the area. Large brick and wood house with very solid foundation and flooring. Beautiful coloured wood inside. People must have left in a hurry, because the alert explorer will now find x-rays, photo albums, and various other personal effects.  Basic Information Type: Abandoned neighbourhood Status: Demolished Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: worth the trip  Physical Information Address Jongno, Seoul So Korea Owner: City or construction company See a map of this location  Hazards unsafe flooring air quality  Interesting Features Traditional style Korean home. Almost certainly a post-war structure, as there is a somewhat modern electrical service installed. It's somewhat rare to find a single family dwelling of more than a few rooms in Korea, let alone two floors and a full basement. This is quite a large house by Seoul's standards, and probably belonged to someone wealthy at some point.  Security Measures  Historical Dates Built: 0 Closed: 0  Required Equipment  Recommended Equipment Flashlight and camera might come in handy.  History "Hanok" is the Korean word for the traditional style of Korean housing. As industrialization and gentrification have continued to take place since the 60's, the hanok are slowly disappearing. The city claims to consider hanok preservation a priority, but for some reason, these interesting and culturally significant little homes continue to disappear from the urban landscape.  Media Coverage  Future Plans As this site sits in the heart of Seoul's business and financial district, I have no doubt it will soon be converted to a 20+ story "officetel". These buildings are mixed commercial/retail/residential areas.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Hanok Sun, Nov 25th, 2007 posted by hyphen 9 pictures Brainscan House Sun, Nov 25th, 2007 posted by hyphen 16 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
