As the first building erected at Yonsei University, it is a two-story stone building whose construction began in 1919 and was completed in 1920. Rev. Underwood (Korean name Won Du-u), founder of Yonhi College, the predecessor of Yonsei University, returned to his homeland, the United States, secured a donation from Charles Stimson, who lived in Los Angeles, USA, for permanent school construction, and passed away; his successor as president, Avison, built it with that donation. Underwood's widow, a bereaved family member, laid the cornerstone, and Miller, then a professor of chemistry, supervised the construction. The designer is unknown, but it is said that American architects at the time came to Korea and drew up the design and basic plan. It has a rectangular plan with a gable roof and is a Gothic-style building.
