Taean Mokaedang is the Dongheon (main administrative building) of the Taean-gun government office during the Joseon Dynasty, where the local magistrate conducted general administrative duties and trials. In the 8th year of King Gojong's reign (1904), County Magistrate Oh Byeong-seon wrote the calligraphy for the signboard "Mokaedang," which means "to govern and love the people well." The building features a rectangular column layout placed on square cornerstones atop a two-tiered platform of long dressed stones. The bracket system is of the Munchulmok Choikgong style, with the ikgong protruding outward from the top of the column and the column base's upper section cut in a straight line. The interior uses yangbong (beam supports) to hold the ends of the main beams, with the ikgong ends finished in a rounded shape rather than extended long. The frame is a one-jungju five-beam structure, with inner columns placed between the front toe columns and rear regular columns, joined by toe beams and main beams. It has a single-eave hip roof, characteristic of the Dongheon building of the Taean-gun government office. After being used as the civil affairs office of Taean-gun Hall for a long time, with new buildings added to the rear and many interior changes made, it has been restored to its original appearance.
