In terms of architecture, Dosanseowon Confucian Academy complex can largely be divided into Dosanseodang compound and Dosanseowon compound. Dosanseodang area consists of living quarters and lecture halls where Toegye Yi Hwang, an eminent Confucian scholar, lived and taught his students. Dosanseowon was built after Toegye Yi Hwang passed away by his followers' legacy of his teachings as well as to pay respects to the deceased.

Built in 1561, Dosanseodang lecture hall is the oldest building in the whole complex. It was personally designed by Yi Hwang, penname Toegye, to further his studies while educating future scholars after moving to the countryside. Living quarters used as a student dormitory were also built along with the lecture hall.

Dosanseowon compound was completed in 1576, six years after Yi Hwang's death. Yi Hwang's ancestral tablet was enshrined inside Sangdeoksa Shrine (Treasure No. 211) in 1572. Two years later, Jeongyodang Lecture Hall (Treasure No. 210) was built to relocate the tablet and with the addition of buildings to the hall's east and west, the area became a seowon. In 1575, the establishment was bestowed a royal charter and a plaque with the name Dosanseowon written by Han Seok-bong, and became the Confucian academy headquarters in the Yeongnam region.

The house was built around 1910 by Namho Kim Roi-sik, a renowned wealthy patriot in Gyeongsang-do, for his second son, Sogang Kim Chang-gi when he was married. Kim Roi-sik is a figure who donated the money secured on his whole possession when the Provisional Government of Korea in Shanghai was raising contributions, and received the Order of Merit for National Foundation. Sogang House is a D-shaped hanok with the adjoining sarangchae and anchae. Even the door frame of the house is built with the chunyang pine, showing the elaboration put in its building. As it is not easily twisted or rotten, chunyang pine is the best pine for architecture that was used for building the palace, the temple, and houses of aristocrats in the Joseon period. There are six guest rooms, including Sarangbang and Eosabang. Sarangbang contains two rooms and veranda, Seonbibang is the room that sunshine comes in the earliest in the morning, and Doryeongbang is the only ondol (floor-heated) room that is built with red clay.
