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.

Seomun Market opened in its current location in the 1920s after reclaiming the Cheonhwangdangji Reservoir, but it has a much longer history. In the Joseon dynasty, Seomun Market was one of three major markets in the nation. It was called Seomun Market because it was located on the west side of the Daegu Fortress. Despite relocating, the alleyways of the original market still feature names of the items available there, such as Hongdukkae Pancake and Chicken Pancake Alley. Textile-related goods are the main products available now, but they also offer a little bit of everything else, including silk goods, dry goods, undershirts, crafts, dishes, clothes, and dried seafood.
