\n The Zoshigaya Old Missionary House was built in 1907 as a base for missionary activities by American missionary John Moody McCaleb. It is the oldest remaining modern wooden Western-style building in Toshima Ward, and was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Toshima Ward in 1987 and as a Tangible Cultural Property of Tokyo in 1999. The exterior is simple and lovely, with white and green as its basic colors. The unique protruding parts of the entrance porch, such as the cane and overhanging windows, are based on the Carpenter Gothic style developed in the United States. On the other hand, the ceiling of the building is decorated with split bamboo, showing the influence of Japanese culture. Visitors can also learn about the McCaleb family, which carried out missionary work from the Meiji period to the early Showa period.\n<\/p>\n
