Former Jeil Feed Company Factory is a building whose outer walls still keep part of the traces of 1930s warehouse architecture. The factory was built on the spatial layout of Gunsan Port, which served as a base for shipping out grain during the Japanese colonial period and had many logistics facilities. So one building holds the urban and industrial history of two eras. The structure mixes reinforced concrete and cement brick, and the interior is divided into storage, processing and shipping spaces. source 1
