This paper, which aims to identify the structure and fabric of buildings using the brick structure during modern times in Korea, focuses on connection details at foundation, each floor and roof as the most important structure components in the exterior wall through 21 architectural technical books and investigating 44 existing brick structures in the early 20th century. As a result of findings the following details could be identified. The most important concerns in the exterior wall at ground level include the formation of the foundation and bearing wall to resist lateral earth pressure in case of basements, and the installation of dampproof courses to block damp from the ground. Other than floor frames with traditional wood girders in the exterior walls adjacent to the floor, concrete slabs with steel girders and reinforced concrete slabs have been introduced. Roof sections interlocking with exterior walls can be divided into three types, those with projecting eaves, those interlocking with the exterior wall, and those hidden behind the parapet. Unlike the eaves in traditional wood structures, the types of roof interlocking with the exterior wall for brick structures have appeared most in religious buildings. Other than these buildings, the advent of parapets to completely hide the eave line foresaw new types of buildings.
