It's neutral ground between the 2, the houses actually switch ownership every day. But basically if the two Koreas ever need to have a conference of some sort in a neutral area this is where that would happen.

I hear (don't have any evidence of its true or not) that some soldiers from nk wait just outside their door when the house belongs to sk to try and grab unsuspecting tourists who come to close or the nk guards who unlock the door. The guards actually have one soldier hold the one who is unlocking the door so that they don't get taken.

Apparently the nk soldiers will also tear the room apart and dance on shit.

But I think the coolest thing about these buildings is the way they and the 38th are guarded. On the nk side the guards are set in a way that one of them cannot cross the border without at least one other guard seeing them escape whereas the sk guards stand mostly behind the building with one eye out to watch the nk side. This can be seen here.
