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

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.
