Hokuriku Gakuen Winn Residence

Built in 1891 (Meiji 24) as the residence of American missionary Thomas C. Winn, this is a fine example of a classic Colonial-style Western house.


Today, it is known as the Hokuriku Gakuin Winn Hall and exhibits historical materials related to Hokuriku Gakuin. The exhibitions are open from April to November in the mornings (excluding weekends).


The building is designated as a Preserved Building by Kanazawa City.
