Pinson Hall

 

 

Pinson Hall is a three-story stone building constructed in 1922. The building was named after Dr. Pinson, a donor whose generosity made its construction possible. Yoon Dong Ju (1917-1945), a Korean poet and notable alumnus, stayed in Pinson Hall during his time as a student at Yonhi College. In 2000, Yoon Dong Ju Memorial Hall was established on the second floor of Pinson, and a monument of Yoon was re-installed in the courtyard of the building. To honor and commemorate the centennial of poet Yoon’s birth, Pinson Hall has been renamed the Yoon Dong Ju Memorial House, while the park in front of the house has been named Dong Ju Gil (Dong Ju Road).
