BKS PPS Building, Medan

BKS PPS Building.


BKS PPS Building is a heritage building in Medan. It is located at the junction of Kesawan and Jl Palang Merah, originally housed the Organisation of the Estate companies of the East Coast of Sumatra. It was built in 1918 in old European style, and is still in good condition.

I passed by this building on my way to Kesawan Square, and decided to document it for AsiaExplorers. The source of information comes from the "History of Medan in the olden times" by Tengku Luckman Sinar.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
