An old lady and the old house
.
While walking around the alley of Seoul city, I found an old traditional house. There was only one traditional house left in that alley. So I interested in that house. I had taken the pictures for a while.
I needed to use wide angle. The alley was too narrow to take a whole wide scene of the house.
Entrance and Wall
White wall was tiled. The original wall was made by yellow soil and covered by white soil. They had used white tiles to preserve original feeling.
Ornament was interesting. It symbolized the entrance of the Palace.
The other side of the house was almost ruined.
While I was taking the photos, the door was opened and one small old lady asked what you were doing. So I excused for her to take the pictures inside of her house.
This house had been built 70 years ago according to the old lady.
She told me that she have lived in this house 50 years.
Now I am going to 70 years history of house.
수리좀하면제법괞찮을듯합니다.
그렇겠지요 ?
전통 한옥이 아니고 그냥 낡는 집이네요
한옥와 양옥을 혼합한 혼혈주택이네요
저도한국에관심이많아요. 발리사람인데, 한국이좋아서한국말도공부시작했어요.
Thank you so much
Nice story telling and shots ! Enjoyed it
Thank you so much
ㅎㅎ
Beautiful....Can you (or anyone) tell me anything about this? The official narative is it was build as a hotel (1800's). I believe there's more to the story. It's too small. It sits on a mountain top in reading Pa (Mount Penn). Any thoughts?
(Beautiful and Oddly out of Place)
Where is this hotel ?
Reading, Pennsylvania. The whole story is suspect. The whole city is, actually. It's now a tourist center. It claims it was built as a hotel...yet displays a story about a "monk named Happy", and a vineyard. The Berks County Historical Society is no help either. (I love mysterious things).
It's interesting to travel with you @slowwalker! A little gift for you from Ukraine!
Thank you for your gift
I very appreciate your support!!@slowwalker!
The house is really very old, the picture is very nice, Weldon
Thank you
Your welcome
Those pictures showed a contrast between the old and the new which I think is typical of Seoul city, judging from your posts.
It was so sad to see the older part of the traditional house falling into ruin and the symbol on the door made it seem even more sad...the entrance of the temple.
I would like to know the history of the house too - you always show a keen interest in the things around you, @slowwalker, and that makes your posts fascinating to read
Thank you so much
you're very welcome, my friend :)
Very nice house , resteemed !

Oh my god! I love the Insignia on the door!!
Whoever decided to keep this home intact and not destroyed for commerce, I tip my hat to.
I too would be honored to visit her home and break bread. You have received a great privilege and gift.
Thank you for sharing your experience! :D
Thank you so much @nlizotte
You're welcome :).
I look forward to seeing more adventures!
