Hardwicke House (GPS: 5.42764, 100.32058) or simply Hardwicke, is a heritage building at the junction of Pangkor Road and Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah. Today it houses a restaurant as part of Vouk Hotel Suites.
Built at the turn of the 20th century, it was named after Hardwicke Hall, a mansion owned by the Duke of Devonshire, in Devonshire, England. The address today is 67 Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah.
Hardwicke House was bought by Khaw Sim Kong, scion of the Khaw family of southern Thailand (the most famous member of which is Khaw Sim Bee). It stayed in the Khaw family until 1920, when it was bought by prominent Penang lawyer Lim Cheng Ean (1889-1982, father of lawyer Lim Kean Siew) from the son of Khaw Sim Kong, Joo Ghee. Lim Cheng Ean was a member of the Straits Settlements Legislative Council from 1929 to 1934. He was also the first Chinese magistrate in Penang.
Over the past decade, Hardwicke House had been saved from demolition and was used for various purposes. It previously served as the Apple Centre for CG Computers and before that, another dining outlet called Bistro @ Hardwicke House.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
