일제시대 조선 농민의 수탈기관이었던 동양척식주식회사의 목포지점 건물이다. 동양척식주식회사는 1908년 일제가 한국의 경제를 독점, 착취하기 위해 한국내에 설립한 회사로, 목포시에는 중앙동에 자리하고 있다.

사리원지점과 함께 가장 중요했던 지점으로, 현재 남한 지역에서는 부산과 목포밖에 건물이 남아있지 않다. 규모에서도 부산지점보다 크며, 당시의 공공시설물로는 이 지역에 유일하게 남아있다.

1920년 경에 세운 것으로, 일제시대의 대표적 수탈기관으로서의 아픈 역사성과 시대성을 지닌 건물이다.

Former Oriental Development Company, Mokpo Branch
Jeollanam-do Provincial Monument No. 174
Designation Date: November 20, 1999

The Oriental Development Company (Dongyang Cheoksik Jusikhoesa) was a chartered company established in 1908 by Imperial Japan for the purpose of exploiting Korea. With its main office in Seoul and branch offices in nine major cities in Korea, the company’s main activities were focused on supporting the migration of Japanese people to the Korean Peninsula, promoting colonial landlords, managing Korean farmland and banking.

Originally opened as a local office in Naju, the branch office of the company was moved to Mokpo in 1920 and house in this building, which was completed the following year. After Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945, the building was used as t base of the ROK Navy, housing the Mokpo Security Service of the ROK Navy from 1946 to 1974 and the Military Police HQ of the Third Naval District Command from 1974 to 1989. The relocation of the naval headquarters to a new site in Yeongam in 1989 recultured in the building being abandoned for ten years until 1999, during which time public calls for its demolition increased. Conversely, voices were raised among civil organizations and academic circles that the building should be preserved and protected as evidence of the Japanese exploitation of Korean resources during the colonial period, resulting in its designation as a Provincial Monument of Jeollanam-do. The building underwent renovation work in 2006 and has since been used as an annex of the Mokpo Modern History Museum.

The building, as an architectural work built in Mokpo during the colonial period, is regarded as a historically significant piece of tangible evidence of the colonial exploitation of the area by Imperial Japan and a valuable part of the heritage connected with the history of Korean naval defense. The building’s exterior has been preserved in its original condition, as has a large safe used during the colonial period.
