The Japanese built a two story stone building, I think as a museum to hold antiquities related to the palace, or more specifically the parts of the palace that the Japanese razed to build the Government General Building. This building was about the size of a pretty good mansion, and it stood inside the eastern gate of the Kyongbok Palace. It had a driveway around a grassy circle, in the middle of which stood the Kyongch'onsa Pagoda. It was there as recently
as the 1970s, at which time the buildling served as the early Park-era home of the Bureau of Cultural Properties.
<DIV> Like everything else in the area, it was dwarfed by the old Japanese capitol.</DIV>
