Abstract
This paper clarifies the formation and the features of the Yasukawa's residence at the late Meiji era. The residence is clearly divided into a dwelling space, a guest room, and service area. Although the main appearance residence at the late Meiji era mainly consists of Japanese style design, a Western style element was introduced to other places; for example, the two warehouses; though the appearance and a scale are almost the same, they are different structures made of wood and brick. The features of Yasukawa's residence became clear when compared with an entrepreneur's residence or a coal mine owner's residence. The formation of the Yasukawa's residence follows the design of the Imperial Family and other upper-class residences that incorporate traditional Japanese architecture.
