This study was developed to clarify the historical and architectural significance of the Seoul Anglican Cathedral (1926),the first Romanesque style church in Korea,by tracing its history and analyzing its exteriors and interiors. Historical research of the Cathedral indicates that it is historically significant for its long association with the development of Christianity,Anglicanism,and the Chung-Dong district. Architectural analysis focuses on the character-defining features that have architectural significance and should be preserved. They include the crypt,altar and mosaics,sedilia and bishop's throne,columns,timber truss frames and vaulting of the ceiling,and traditional Korean features. From a historic preservation perspective,this study provides some guidance to architects and developers planning historic preservation projects of Korean Modern Architecture by investigation and evaluation of the on-going Cathedral preservation project,and includes recommendations for the development of the historic preservation movement in Korea.
