Former Joseon Savings Bank Residence

This is a dataset of digital assets from the documentation of the Former Joseon Savings Bank Residence during a workshop organized with Korea National University of Heritage and the International Centre for Interpretation and Presentation of World Heritage Sites (WHIPIC) on August 18, 2025. This building is located in Seoul (Korea). According to Asia News - the Joseon Savings Bank residence is a building constructed during the Japanese colonial period. Seonwonjeon was the place where royal portraits, known as Eojin, of successive kings were enshrined. It was considered the most sacred space within the palace, but it was damaged by the Japanese colonial authorities. After Emperor Gojong passed away in 1919, all buildings in the area were demolished, and the Joseon Savings Bank residence and Gyeongseong First Public Girls' High School were constructed in their place.
