Korean. Post 1970s.

The sign appears to read "The Hall the Ox" - whatever that may mean.

Hi Mike,

I wonder if these two characters might be 午堂, Literally "Afternoon Temple" but apparently used in combination form (in Chinese at least) to mean "Afternoon Worship". A lot of church-related hits came back in response to character searches on Google.

Cheers,

Bill H.

Just wonder, can it be 午堂 instead of 牛堂 since the two characters are pretty similar?
