The memorial service house of Soo Woon Gyo in Dae-jeon, a national religion, is an important modern building at which major ceremonies take place. Established in 1936, this building is a distinctive combination of the truss roof structure in western style, the traditional Korean-style structure, and a Japanese floor mat. This study by recording a memorial house of Soo Woon Gyo examines the architectural features closely and compares a memorial service house with the main structure and style of a modern building founded from 1920`s to 1930`s. The memorial service house ceremony externally shows the style of building like a lecture space of Seowon. However, inside the house, there are inner parts as the interior space of a main Buddhist temple ; three Buddhist image, a picture of Buddha to hang on the wall, a soul platform, and so on. Considering the peculiarities of that times, it looks like one of compromises in a transitional form of Korean modern architecture.
