In November of 1883, this building was opened to function as the agency (the first bank in Incheon) of Pusan branch office of First National Bank in Japan. Later in 1909, the Central Bank of Korea was established, so this place was, then, transferred to the Bank of Korea Incheon Branch Office.
This building was domed and built of stones in the post-Renaissance style and built up of the first floor. After the Liberation, it was used as office of Supply Incheon Office, then Dong-incheon Registry Office. The exterior went through minor reconstruction, but the main framework is still well preserved. This was appointed as Tangible Cultural Properties by City, Historic Sites 7.
