Uiseong Soudang House was originally built by Lee Ga-bal (pen-name: Sou) in the early nineteenth century. The house has the characteristic structure of a hanok, although its overall ‘ㅁ’-shape was modified into a ‘ㄷ’-shape after the small sarangbang was damaged by a typhoon few years ago. The house features a moderately high foundation stone and moderate construction materials, corresponding to traditional Confucian principles. However, entering the side door in the west, one can see a different aspect of the house. In general, the gardens of hanok built during the Joseon period didn’t have a fence in order to preserve the natural environment, but they often had a small pavilion next to a small stream. However, thanks to the founder’s wealth, Soudang House featured a new style of garden in which a separate house with a wall and a pond was built and sun trees from China were planted. The byeolchae (separate house) is focused on its role as a residence, having several rooms, unlike others that are usually emphasized on its maru (wooden floor). It is thought that the main users of the byeolchae were the owners rather than male guests. Recently, work on the interior of the byeolchae was completed to accommodate guests. The anchae and sarangchae have also been renovated with modern bathrooms and toilets for guests’ convenience.
