Myeongjae's House (Yun Jeung's House) is a Jongga or family head house of the Papyeong Yun family. Myeongjae Yun Jeung (1629~1714) was a famous Confucian scholar and political reformist of Joseon Dynasty, though he never took any government post. The house is presumed to date back to the early 18th century. It is said that the house was built in 1709, and began to be resided at by Myeongjae's grandson in 1725. It is deemed to be one of the most typical upper-class houses in the middle of Joseon Dynasty. The house is fairly moderate in size considering the social status of the resident, Yun Jeung, however, it shows the typical designs and ideas of the traditional Korean house. And the house makes us feel critically what 'human scale' is like. 
     The house is located at Gyochon-ri Noseong-myeon Nonsan-city Chungcheongnam-do province. The location of the house has a special sense of place. Noseong national Confucian academy is located on its left (west) side. And Noseong Confucius portrait shirine, one of two such shrines existing in Korea, where the portrait of Confucius (Kongzi) is enshrined, is located on its right side. Myeongjae's House is designated as the Important Folklore Material (No.190).
