The Traditional Home of Jung Hoi Kim (1903-1970) was built in the 8th year of the reign of King Sukjong (1682) as a typical noble home of the Joseon Dynasty.  This was the typical structure for a home of the ruling class in the Joseon Dynasty and consisted of the main building, a detached building, and a servants¡¯ building.  The two large storage depots by the gate building, the shrine, and the main building were built on natural stone.  The main building has eight-edged roofing with a ridge, single-layered eaves, and is overlooking the front yard.  These characteristics make this building very unique.  There used to be several additional buildings by the main building, but most of them were lost during the Korean War.  Sir Jung Hoi Kim was the descendant of Sa Hyung Kim, who contributed to the foundation of the Joseon Dynasty, and was a great Confucian scholar.  He taught Philosophy at Gyeonghakwon (Myeongryun School), the previous form of today¡¯s Sungkyunkwan University.  

Jung Hoi Kim enjoyed drawing apricot trees, orchids, and chrysanthemums, but his painting of bamboo trees is the most popular.  He is still widely known as a scholar, calligrapher, and painter.  Sir Kim was from a high-class family, but he volunteered to help many underprivileged commoners.  Many people in the local town still cherish his modesty and virtuous deeds.
