Mission House Museum

Mission House Museum (2 July 2014)


Mission House Museum (GPS: 5.423147, 100.334527) is a museum being set up at 35 Farquhar Street, in George Town, Penang. The building was once known as Mission House. It was part of a complex known as the Farquhar Street Mission House and Chapel, an ensemble that was the earliest premises for the brethren assemblies in this region. The Farquhar Street Chapel made way for road widening in the late 1930s, while Mission House stands until today.

The restored Mission House faithfully preserves the original appearance of the building. It comprises the building proper and a porch. On the ground floor, the exterior comprises a series of arches some with double-doors. Above these are full-length French windows. Above the porch, the façade is entirely made of wood, with each side lined with a row of wooden shutters with louvres. Right below the pediment is a pothole-shaped air vent.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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