Dewan Bandaran Ipoh (Ipoh City Hall), Ipoh, Perak

Ipoh City Hall (18 September, 2005)


Ipoh City Hall (GPS: 4.59723, 101.07492), or Dewan Bandaran Ipoh, is a historic building in the heart of Ipoh, Perak. It is directly across from the Ipoh Railway Station, on Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang Wahab (formerly Club Road).

The majestic town hall building was designed by colonial government architect A.B. Hubback, who also designed the Ipoh Railway Station along with many of the now historic buildings in Kuala Lumpur. Construction of the Ipoh City Hall began in 1914, but due to interruption to material supply brought about by World War I, the building was only completed in 1916. The building has a rusticated façade which contributes to its elegance.

The Ipoh Post Office used to occupy the eastern end of the Ipoh City Hall Building. For that reason, the road that ran between Club Road and Jalan Sultan Yusuf was known as Post Office Road (now it is called Jalan Dato Sagor). For many years, the Ipoh City Hall building also served as the district police headquarters, which has since moved into its own complex further south.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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