Chung Thye Phin Building (Bangunan Sztolee)

Bangunan Sztolee, IpohBangunan Sztolee, Ipoh (19 August, 2006)


Chung Thye Phin Building (GPS: 4.59682, 101.07723), nowadays called Bangunan Sztolee, is a historic building in Ipoh Old Town. It is located at the junction of Jalan Sultan Yusuf and Jalan Dato Maharajalela (Station Road). The building was named after Kapitan Cina Chung Thye Phin, the last Kapitan Cina of Perak. It was built in 1907. For much of its early years, it was associated with the medical industry, playing the roles of dispensary and medical hall.

The medical hall was established by Dr R.M. Connolly, who served the colonial government in the early 20th century before going into private practice. He was also the founder of the Perak Anti-Opium Society and once served as editor of the Times of Malaya.

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.
