Red House, Johor Bahru

Red House, Johor Bahru (15 September 2019)


Red House (GPS: 1.45653, 103.76375) is a beautiful and ornate house in downtown Johor Bahru. It stands at the junction of Jalan Tan Hiok Nee and Jalan Pahang. The two-storey building in the Neoclassical style has a overhang balcony pointed towards the cross road. The building is said to have been built at the second half of the 18th century, and was originally owned by Indian merchant.

In July 2013, the Government of Johor named the Red House as one of the heritage sites that have been identified and gazetted by the state.

In mid 2018, the house was reverted to white, but its name as Red House continues among locals and tourists.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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