Go Pyeong-o House (1829 onward) - 고평오 가옥 (高平五 家屋)

A portion of the Go Pyeong-o House was originally used as lodging for local officials. The overall layout of the house is typical of those on Jeju island, in which separate but related families lived independently in different wings of the house, sharing a common courtyard.
