It was designated as a Gangwon-do tangible cultural property on January 17, 1985. It was built about 200 years ago, and the descendants of the Gyeongju Lee clan's head family currently live here. It is a type of flooring introduced into Gangwon-do's typical ondol-centered multi-layer private house type, and the floor plan is shaped like a jeong (丁). The stylobate is made of long stone, and the pillars are built on a natural stone cornerstone. The rafters are arranged radially and have a three-story structure on a single eaves. The main building is a double-layered house with 4 rooms on the front and 2 rooms on the sides and a gable roof. The rooms were placed in the 3 spaces on the left, and the kitchen was placed in the 1 space on the right.
There was one cowshed to the right front of the main building, and one room and one warehouse to the rear. The upper part of the cowshed connecting the main building and the kitchen was made into a storage space. In the kitchen, access is not allowed to rooms connected to the kitchen, and access is allowed only from the outside.
The external space is divided into the front, back, and sides by the layout of the house and the wall, and for access to the side, a single gate with a gable roof connected to the same height as the roof ridge of the barn was installed. This gate was mainly used by women, while men entered and exited through the front of the main house.
