Straits Eclectic Houses of Muntri Street

On this page, I want to show you the beautiful Straits Eclectic houses of Muntri Street. Muntri Street has one of the best preserved Straits Eclectic houses in George Town. Now many of these houses are being carefully restored to reflect the early 20th century style of the time it was built. Shown here are a selection of the more interesting houses along Muntri Street. The date in brackets show when the photograph was taken, so these houses may have since been restored or repainted.

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.
