Visited June 9, 2023A tangible cultural property of Gwangju Metropolitan City. 1998.5.7. appointedA building built to commemorate Clement C. Owen (1867-1909). Built in 1914 with funds sent by missionary Owen's relatives. It is said that Owen wanted to honor his grandfather William while he was alive. So the names of my grandfather and Owen were engraved on the front of the building. It is located within the Christian College of Nursing and is managed by the Gwangju Christian Hospital Educational Foundation. The exterior wall is made of gray brick and has a calm and cold feel. I hope people use it well and it becomes a warm building.Yangnim Church is located right next to it.Clement C. Owen 1867-1909Born in Virginia, USA, died in Yangnim-dong, Gwangju. Eugene Bell, the first missionary in Jeollanam-do, was also the first missionary to be buried in the missionary cemetery. A friend who was coming to see Owen, who was critically ill, found a leper on the way and put the child on a horse and came on foot, arriving after Owen had died. After seeing people treating lepers, Choi Hong-jong donated 1,000 pyeong of his land in Bongseon-dong, Gwangju, and today's Aeyangwon (leper treatment hospital in Yeosu) was established.

A building that has endured for over a hundred years in a fading Asian border empire.

It is an old-fashioned modern building that is not easily seen in Gwangju. Rather than preserving it like taxidermy, I would like to give more points to things that are being used well so far.

It is not clearly visible because it is obscured by churches and Christian universities. There is a modern Western clothing rental store nearby, so some people come here to rent clothes and take pictures.

This is a memorial to Owen, who died from overwork while working as a missionary in Gwangju. It was built in 1914. It was built as a public meeting hall at the time and became a cradle for the spread of Western culture, but when the denominations separated, it was also used as a church for a time.In modern times, it has solidified its role as a ‘citizen center’ as a cultural performance event venue in the Gwangju region. I found it when it was dark, but it looks like the light was turned on to let me see inside. Korea's early chapels had high podiums and a dignified, rectangular structure, but it was surprising that the early 20th-century building was slanted so that the audience could see the stage. Two-story duplex structure. When it was built, it was symmetrical around the stage (stage), and even the male and female entrances were different due to the influence of Confucianism.
