As a research method, 40 stele houses in the royal tombs of Joseon dynasty and some others remaining in South Korea were surveyed. From small ordinary steles to large special steles, the plan of stele houses could be divided into four types: core bay type, 2-side bay type, 4-side bay type and 4-side corridor type. The example of 4-side corridor type is intensively found after 1899 when King Gojong built several steles for the higher rank predecessors. Sim Euiseok, the master builder of Kinyeombijeon seems to apply 4-side corridor plan with his own design. This type used to be chosen selectively at the time, but it seems to become common after 1910s and even until nowadays.
