The neighborhood of Namsa-ri in Sancheong has been the site of many historical old homes, and although some of these have been destroyed by lack of care and neglect over the years,there are a few that have been well preserved: one of these is the old house of the Jeongclan.The building of the Jeong home shares the same layout as the old home of the Choe clan.One feature unique to the Jeong house, however, is the presence of a detached building called"Sayangjeongsa Shrine." Each detail of the comb-like "bitsal" pattern of the window grille has atime-honored beauty that bespeaks the excellence of our traditional architectural culture.Behind the main building, there is another small detached structure called "Seonmyeongdang,"and near the fence on the left-hand side, an old apricot tree stands.This 100-year old tree is a red plum blossom, with a height of 6.0m and a width spanning5.8m east to west, and a root collar diameter of 24.8m. According to the cultural heritageregistry of Uri-gun, the completion of the framework of this house was dated as 1910, whichis around 9 decades ago, but the apricot tree we see planted here is deduced to have beenquite well grown at the time it was transplanted here.
