Ipoh Town Hall Seen In Different Lights

Whenever I am at the Ipoh Railway Station, I will take the opportunity to walk around hoping to get some nice snapshots. I happened to be there last week, and I was early. It was about 6.25 pm and I saw a few young people posing and taking photographs. I took some pictures of the post office building and also the town hall building. Many times I have taken pictures of these buildings.
6.28 pm
The Ipoh town hall is a beautiful and impressive building facing the Ipoh Railway Station. It was designed by the Government Architect, Arthur Benison Hubback (1871-1948) with Neo-Renaissance Victorian style, surmounted with colossal Greek and Roman columns. It was constructed by British East India Company in 1913 and completed the building in 1916.

When the place is lighted up - looks so different!
 An antique photo of the town hall.
The day started with a gloomy morning sky at 8 am.
Sweet and pretty frangipani flowers to cheer up the day.


Is there any such thing as Christians cheering each other up?
Do you love me enough to want to help me?
Does it mean anything to you that we are brothers in the Lord,
sharing the same Spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic at all?
Then make me truly happy by loving each other and
agreeing wholeheartedly with each other,
working together with one heart and mind and purpose.
(Philippians 2:1-2, The Living Bible-TLB)

      It looks like they did some renovation to the original building.

    Wow, that is an impressive and beautiful building. I'll bet it's just as impressive inside as it is outside.

    Have a fabulous day, Nancy. ♥

    Love the European style of the building. It was even more impressive in the evening when it was lighted up.

    It does look nice. I believe I never bothered to look at it much previously... not into buildings.

    Thanks for sharing. I didn't know Ipoh was a place. I've seen it associated to a company which owns some Sydney shopping centres.

    Beautiful capture and wonderful angles and lighting on the pretty white town hall! East India Company has also built some marvellous white building in my city, Chennai, with 380 years of history. I like your neat street view
