Busanjin Il Sin Girls School which was built in 1905 is situated in Jwacheon-dong Dong-gu Busan and it is modern western style architecture. As well as this is rare all over the country the original form is preserved well. Although it was designated as Busan's Cultural Property No. 55 in may, 2003 and has been managed since then, it is noticeable that the original form of the
building has been largely changed in many parts. Wish to presume building then original form in 1905 in this study are as followed.
First, the building might be a single story. Considering the vertical extension of chimney, the differences in structure and material between 1st and 2nd floors, and the materials for floor plate and roof frame, it is assumed that it was built as a single story building originally, and its second floor was extended.
Second, there might be a stair from structure and traces of western wall. Third, Balcony might be established without stair on eastern whole surface. But later the balcony on the south was partially demolished to install new stairs, because of difficulty to access to the second floor. Presumably the railing was also dismantled during installing the stairs.
