The former Daegu Provincial Hospital (presently Kyungpook National University Hospital) is a two-story red brick building constructed in 1928. It stands opposite the administration building of the Main Building of the former Daegu College of Medicine (Historic Site No. 442, presently Kyungpook National University Hospital). It has a northern aspect and a long east-west axis, with a hipped roof covered with tiles. The layout is L-shaped with a central corridor, with the rooms on either side facing north and south, respectively. The wing on the right side at the front has a one-sided corridor with the rooms facing east. The building facade is symmetrical from the front porch, having a Renaissance feel with a granite cornice under the eaves and lintels. The distinguishing features of the facade are the turret with square roof, long arched windows, pediment, dormer windows on the roof, crenellated parapet walls, and granite cornices. These elements have been used to emphasize the surface and symmetry. This building shows the characteristics of modern Korean hospital architecture; while the right wing has been demolished, and the left side of the front has been expanded, the original structure has been well-preserved in general; hence its historical and architectural value.
