The Yeongmyeong High School Missionary House in Gongju is Gongju's first Western-style residential building, built in the early 1900s as a residence for American Methodist missionaries. It is a three-story red brick building characterized by a unique skip-floor structure that goes up and down by half floors from the entrance. This is where Missionary Sa Ae-ri-si, the teacher of patriot Yu Gwan-sun, lived.
