106 & 104 Pitt Street

106 & 104 Pitt Street, George Town, Penang (15 September 2012)


106 & 104 Pitt Street (GPS: 5.41622, 100.33724) is a three-storey pre-war building in George Town, Penang. Built in the Late Arts & Crafts architectural style in 1934, it incorporates a fusion of Moorish and European elements to the design. As was its original intention, it serves as both commercial and residential today.

On the ground floor is an arcade sheltering a five-foot way which wraps around the front of the building along Pitt Street and Kampung Kolam. On the first floor is a verandah where a profusion of flowering plants are grown. The stairwell is hidden behind a decorative brickwork that emits some light.

Buildings designed in the Arts & Crafts style age well, and blends in easily into the scenery. As they weather, they become charming addition to streets. Strangely however, there are not many buildings in this style in George Town.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
