This house was the residence of American missionaries (Switz, Henderson, Archibald Campbell, etc.) who came to Daegu for missionary work starting in 1893. It is a Western-style building constructed around 1906-1910 with 2 floors above ground and 1 basement floor, located on Dongsan (currently Cheongna Hill) facing southwest. The foundation was made with castle stones from Ansan Rock brought during the demolition of Daegu Eupseong in 1907, and the walls are built with red bricks. It is a two-story Han-Yang hybrid brick building. It was designated a Daegu Metropolitan City Tangible Cultural Property on June 15, 1989. In August 1981, it was acquired from Dongsan Hospital and used as a residence, during which Korean-style roof tiles were replaced with zinc sheets and some interior finish materials were replaced. The floor plan includes a veranda on the south right leading to the entrance, which connects directly via the entrance hall to the living room and reception room. Around the living room are arranged a bedroom, stairwell, bathroom, kitchen, and dining room. The roof was originally a Korean-style tiled gable roof with shed shapes on the south and north sides but was improved with zinc sheets. On October 1, 1999, on the 100th anniversary of Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center’s founding, it opened as a Missionary Museum. The first floor exhibits various Bibles, missionary relics, and photographic materials on the introduction of Christianity; the second floor displays a model of the tabernacle and Old and New Testament-related items purchased locally in Israel. Missionaries Switz House well demonstrates American residential and lifestyle styles and Han-Yang blended architectural techniques, serving as an important building to understand Protestant missionaries in Daegu and the architectural context at that time. Cheongna Hill offers many sights, including Missionary Blair House, Chamnis House, Daegu Jeil Church, Dongmusaenggang Song Monument, the third-generation descendant of Korea’s first Western apple tree, and in May, known as the queen of seasons, the 200-year-old white rice flower Ipap trees bloom. The building is privately owned and not open to visitors inside.

As inferred from 'omi [味]' and 'gami [味],' it means 'eat while coming and eat while going,' allowing visitors to enjoy a variety of international foods along with unique menu items. The restaurant names are quite distinctive, and the foods and products offered are hard to find anywhere else in the area, so those who felt bored with existing food streets have kept coming, quickly spreading word of mouth. In addition to about 50 restaurants, workshops, accessory shops, and traditional market stalls come together, offering enjoyment for both mouth and eyes.

Indongchon Anago Alley extends about 150 meters from the Dalseong Park wall toward Bukbisan Intersection. Since 1973, shops selling anago (conger eel) have been established here, and the area is now known as 'Indongchon Anago Mukja Alley.' It is known as a place where delicious eateries gather in Daegu. Currently, about 20 restaurants stay busy welcoming customers until dawn. Anago tastes excellent whether eaten raw or grilled. It is also perfect as a drinking snack and is sometimes mixed with seasoning sauce and eaten with cool water kimchi. Rich in protein and amino acids, it is good for recovering energy during summer.
