Leong Kim Tiew HouseLeong Kim Tiew House (25 February 2025)


Leong Kim Tiew House (GPS: 5.41941, 100.33134) is a two-storey bungalow on Hutton Lane in George Town, Penang. The house in the Anglo-Indian style glass louvre windows on the ground floor and wooden shutters on the upper floor.

According to information I gleaned from the web, the references placed below, the house belonged to the former Penang Chief Minister Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu, who inherited it from his father, Dr Lim Chwee Leong. However, it was rented out on a long-term lease to a carpenter friend, the namesake Leong Kim Tiew, who occupied it and placed the signage on the house which is still there today.

As time of writing this, it appears to me that the house has not been renovated for quite some time, and is in need of sprucing up.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
