Ipoh Town Hall & Old Post Office
Dewan Bandaran Ipoh
A white neoclassical complex across the square from the railway station, completed in 1916, and the showpiece of Ipoh's colonial era.
The Town Hall and Old Post Office were designed by architect A.B. Hubback, who also designed Ipoh's railway station, and were completed in 1916. Their Corinthian colonnades and white façades echo the station across the square, and together they are known as Ipoh's “white buildings.” The interiors are usually closed to the public, so the focus is on exterior photography. Admission is free. It is a two-minute walk from the front square of the railway station, and you can detour to the Birch Memorial Clock Tower and Old Town on the way.
