The House of Missionary Blair was built in in the 1910's for his time of missionary work in Korea, but has been converted into a history museum and education center. The two-story red brick building has maintained its original construction, with only minor changes having been made over the years. The house is very representative of its time, with a brick chimney rising over the roof, and wooden flooring inside. The first floor was made up of a veranda, reception room, living room, bedrooms, dining room and kitchen. The second floor featured bedrooms and a bathroom. The windows can be opened both at the top and the bottom, and the veranda was used as a sunroom. The House of Missionary Blair is a great example of American architecture from the 1900's.
