The Donuimun, Sold for 205 won
Donuimun was an important gate in the Joseon period, used by envoys traveling to and from China and by royal processions heading to the western provinces. Korea's first tram, the Seodaemun to Hongneung line opened in 1899, was laid and operated with the gate left standing. However, the Government-General of Korea decided to demolish Donuimun to widen the road, and in March 1915 the Maeil Sinbo reported that its timber would be sold at auction and its stone used for road works. As the title of this section says, Donuimun was sold for 205 won, and in 1915 the gate that had guarded the west of Hanyang disappeared.
