Cultural Properties at Doshisha

6/15

;Yushukanushukan was Doshisha’s first library, originally called Shojakukan. It is believed to have been built with a donation from the American Board. Neesima’s office is said to have been located within this building. It was later used as classrooms for the School of Politics and Law, Doshisha Technical College, and Doshisha University Preparatory Course. With the expansion of Imadegawa Street in 1917, the entrance facing Imadegawa Street was transferred to the east side. In 1920, when the second library (now the Keimeikan building) was established, its role as a library ended. Chancellor Danjo Ebina then named it Yushukan.In November 1928, the Yushukan building was gutted by an accidental fire. The inside of the brick wall was renovated with reinforced concrete on the advice of Goichi Takeda, professor of Kyoto Imperial University at the time, who was concerned for the safety of the building. The building has been used for various purposes, and is currently used by the School Juridical Person Office and the Department of General Affairs. ■ Established on November 15, 1887■ Designated as a National Important Cultural Property on May 21, 1979A two-story, brick, pantile-roofed building with a basementTotal Building Area: 352.3m2Designed by: D.C.
