본 연구는 전라남도청의 설치와 관련하여 1911년 전라남도가 조선총독부 정무총감에게 보낸 공문서 중 ‘나주안’에 수록된 원 나주재무서 청사에 대한 사용계획을 분석한 것이다. 연구의 성과는 다음과 같다. 실측도가 수록된 원 나주재무서 청사는 ‘목포안’에 수록된 목포부청 실측도, ‘나주안’에 수록된 금성관 객사 실측도, 조선 총독부 자료 ‘나주군청 정문 양여건’ 등의 치수 분석자료와 발굴조사 자료 분석을 통해 조선후기까지 나주 향청으로 쓰인 건축물이었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 나주 향청이 과거에 나주(금남)금융조합, 농지개량조합으로 사용된 사실은 ‘나주목향청복원기본계획(2019)’에서 밝힌 바 있으나 ‘원 나주 재무서 청사’와 ‘향청’의 관계에 대해 규명하면 1911년 문건을 통해 향청복원의 근거가 명확하게 마련될 것 으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to classify three-Kan hipped and gable-roofed Buddhist temples with the construction of their eave curve of part chunyeo and examine the characteristics and causes. The conclusions have been drawn as follows: First, there are largely three ways to secure symmetry in eave curve of part chunyeo. One is to obtain symmetry in eave curve of part chunyeo by making the size of eaves curves on well sides the same and forming symmetric curves in the front section along with the side roof and then forming the straight line in the central part (hereinafter referred to as the long straight line section method). The second is a method to enlarge eaves curves in the front and form eaves curves on the roof section to be symmetric (hereinafter referred to as the front is larger than side eaves curves method). The third is the method to make eaves curves in the roof section to be symmetric by adjusting the roof length and making difference between the front and side roof’s length minimum(hereinafter referred to as the roof length-controlling method). Second, there are 16 cases applying two or more methods, and they are the mainstream. Third, there are 12 cases applying the front is larger than side eaves curve method and roof length-controlling method both, which seems to be the most universal. To sum up, they secured symmetry in roof edges considering the construction of seonjayeon and pyeongyeon according to the size of the structure, recognition on the directions of entrance into the area of the building, forms of planes, harmony with structures around, recognition on roof curves in accordance with the size, and also structural faults in the chunyeo part.

It is difficult to build a hipped and gable roof in slender rectangular type due to restraint in variation of lateral length caused by gongpo arranged on the side, purlin space and the form of gable part and aesthetical effect of chunyeo maru. Against this backdrop and with the assumption that this phenomenon is more apparent in roofs of three-bay-kan Buddhist temples with the hipped and gable roof among national treasure Buddhist temples, this study has aimed to prove that a roof can be built in a less slender rectangular type than that of flat form and to present the building methodology and found the following findings. First, The ratio of lateral to longitudinal length of the roof has been adjusted by protruding the chunyeo and the method of adjusting the ratio of lateral to longitudinal length of the roof is considered to be determined depending on the availability of woods to be used in chunyeo. Second, in order to symmetrically arrange the edge of the roof, which is critical from the perspective of construction morphology, the chunyeo angle has been intentionally adjusted to reduce the gap of length between the front roof and the lateral roof. To sum up, the characteristic of the hipped and gable roof, which is difficult to be built in slender rectangular type, is more clearly shown in the roof and it is identified that the length of the front roof and the lateral roof has been intentionally adjusted to achieve the symmetrical arrangement of roofline of the roof edge.
