Designation of cultural heritage

National registered cultural heritage (Designation date: September 13, 2002)

The Temporary Government Complex accommodated the offices for the State Council (the highest decision-making organ of the government) and many other major government offices. This red-brick building rising two stories over the ground with a single basement floor displays a modified form of classical architecture. It was built in 1925 as the government offices for Gyeongsangnam-do Province. During the Korean War, many ministries and government agencies found a home in this building, which was already equipped with administrative facilities. As the main government complex, this building provided the backdrop of a series of important political, economic, and social events during the war. Programs and policies for displaced people were also prepared and implemented here. It is currently being used as a museum by Dong-A University.
