Gyonam YMCA (교남YMCA)

Explanation

Established in December 1921, the Gyonam YMCA Hall served as a gateway to the modern movement in Daegu. During the Japanese colonial period, it was a meeting place and a base for Christian national movements such as the Product Promotion Movement, the Christian Rural Movement, and the Singanhoe Movement. This hall is a two-story red brick building built by the American missionary Blair in 1914. It retains the characteristics of the 1910s and '20s masonry construction, such as decorating the first and second floors with cornices and securing a square window with arches. In the early days, it was used as a place for students' education, evening classes, and lectures.
