古山様お元気ですか。

Excellent capture of a historical building accompanied by a very informative note, especially Nakamura Yoshihei (中村与資平). The building has been designated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government as Tangible Asset No. 36. Nakamura was also responsible for designing the Sookmyung Girls' high School (淑明女子高等学校) in 1920.

Many thanks for the sahring and best regards,
