A two-storey brick house built in the 1920s for the American businessman and journalist Albert Taylor, who reported the 1919 independence movement to the world. After decades as a crowded tenement it was restored by the city and reopened in 2021 with the rooms refurnished from family photographs. It stands beside a huge old ginkgo near the old city wall.
Getting in: Museum run by the Seoul Museum of History: Tue–Sun 9:00–18:00 (last entry 17:30), free. About 10 minutes' walk from Dongnimmun Station.
