India House, Beach Street, George Town (4 April 2010)


India House (GPS: 5.41737, 100.34245) is a double-storey building in George Town. It is located on the corner of Beach Street and Church Street Ghaut, and carries an address on both streets.

India House was built by S.N.A.S Sockalingam Chettiar in 1937 in the Indian Art Deco style, and finished in Shanghai plaster. Today it appears a bit worn down, but when it was first built, it was the highest assessment payer along expensive Beach Street.
