Ilsan station

Ilsan Station is a station in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The station is serviced by the Gyeongui–Jungang Line and Seohae Line, and is the oldest station in the city of Goyang.

History

The old Ilsan Station was built in 1933, while under Japanese rule. While no longer in use, the building still exists and was designated as a national cultural asset No. 294 in 2006. In 2009 the functions of the station were transferred to a new station building. The old building is planned to be opened to the public for cultural use.
The building has a cross-shaped gable roof, with the gable showing in the front, and the sides of the building forming straight planes on either side. The gable area visible from the front is relatively wide but low in height, compared to other stations on the Gyeongui Line. The structure is wood-framed with the exterior walls finished in wire mesh and mortar.

Station information

It opened as a regular station on April 4, 1904, and the old station building was completed in 1933.
