In JB Taman Istana. ^ ^
It's an old abandoned school, I hear

It dosen't look like a school at all....but it will be very nice if i can study there....hahhaa

It's now slowly rotting away, quite literally. :D:runaway:

Woodneuk kena burnt. :(

^^very nice. :) I just hope buildings like these are kept better.

This is one in KL, from flickr.com as well: Any idea what building this is?
http://static.flickr.com/39/103445723_9ef722d19a_b.jpg

is that 'Rumah Singapura'?....the one that used to be singapore's politician tempat lepak during the early days of Malaysia(1963)?

Interesting... I love the fact that Malaysia and Singapore's history is so related. :cool:

Any news of Woodneuk in M'sia newspapers? :?
Only Chinese newspaper here reports it being burnt.

sorry...sorry...that's totally not 'Rumah Singapura'/'Rumah Temasek'/'Singapore House'....sorry for that mistake.

sad to c that building in that condition:(

I just saw Istana Hulu in this thread. Is it old mansion or new in imitation of old?

Sorry I came to this thread so late but on my last trip to Penang, this mansion was in excellent shape (at least exterior). The back even had a gate to the sea, and there is a statue of the owner in the back verandah. I stayed opposite this mansion and had a chance to wander in. The thing I liked most was the porch is actually covered with glass tiles. Beautiful.

Pity about Woodneuk, pity about Bok House. Now...macam mana?

I'm trying to write a letter or something. I fear Woodneuk might crumble anytime, now a haunt for photographers and illegal people. :cry:

Was ravaged by fire in July last year. Arson. :cry:

I just saw Istana Hulu in this thread. Is it old mansion or new in imitation of old?

Terengganu historic mansion being restored
Friday August 7, 2009

A HISTORICAL mansion in Kuala Terengganu which houses the Malaysian History Association Terengganu branch’s office is being restored by the National Heritage Department.

National Heritage Department principal assistant director Mat Nasir Baba said the two-storey `Rumah Limas Bungkus’ which was almost 100 years old was once owned by a Terengganu royalty, Tengku Teh Dungun.

He said Tengku Teh was the wife of Tengku Seri Bijaya Raja Tengku Chik Ahmad Abdul Rahman, who was Terengganu religious affairs commissioner from 1924 to 1929.

The building became the Kuala Terengganu Municipal Council office from 1946 to 1979, he told reporters after visiting the mansion recently.

Mat Nasir said after Tengku Teh died, her son, Tengku Abdul Rahman sold the stately home to Tengku Bijaya Wangsa Tengku Hitam Ali, who was then Terengganu heritage and education chief.

He said Terengganu Islamic Affairs Office had also used the building as its office from 1937 to 1938.

The 557.4 sq m mansion is made of concrete lime while the wooden doors and windows and concrete staircase handrails were decorated with engraved motifs, he added.

“The building will be handed to the Malaysian History Association Terengganu once the restoration work is completed next month,” he said.

The mansion, which has three wings, also houses the Terengganu Literary Association (Pelita) — Bernama.

Heritage building in Terengganu being restored

KUALA TERENGGANU: Resto-ration work on a century-old mansion here, once home to Terengganu aristocrats, has uncovered carvings on the concrete walls, wooden doors, windows and staircase.

The carvings were discovered beneath many layers of paint that workers had scraped off, said Mat Nasir Baba, principal assistant director of the archeology and conservation division of National Heritage Department (NHD).

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2009/8/11/southneast/se_02original.jpg

Historical value: Renovation work in progress at the
building in Jalan Tok Lam, Kuala Terengganu, recently.

NHD is restoring the two-storey building in Jalan Tok Lam, belonging to the Terengganu branch of Malaysian Historical Society.

The building originally belonged to Tengku Teh Dungun, wife of Terengganu’s second religious affairs commissioner Tengku Seri Bijaya Raja Tengku Chik Ahmad Abdul Rahman.

Tengku Cik Ahmad held the post from 1924 to 1929.

Following his demise, his son Tengku Abdul Rahman sold it to Tengku Bija Wangsa Tengku Hitam Ali, Terengganu’s head of treasury and the head of education then.

The building, which is more than 100 years old, had also housed the Terengganu Religious Affairs office from 1937 to 1938.

It later housed the Kuala Terengganu Town Council’s office from 1946 to 1979, said Mat Nasir when he visited the building recently.

Since last January, the limestone-concrete structure with a floor area of 6,000 square feet, has been undergoing restoration work expected to be completed by the end of the month.

It is divided into three sections, and due to its shape, the Malays called it Rumah Limas Bungkus.

NHD is taking the trouble to restore the building as it has intrinsic beauty and value yet to be relished by anyone.

“We found that the building had been renovated a number of times. As such, it was difficult to identify the original front portion and kitchen.

“I believe the walls had four to five layers of paint,” said Mat Nasir.

Workers also found a closed-up well at one end. It was then dug out and restored to its original state.

“Houses of Terengganu in the early days had a well in the kitchen,” said a worker.

Mat Nasir noted that, with the considerable amount allocated for the work, the department could restore the building to its original state.

“When ready, we will hand the building over to the Malaysian Historical Society’s branch in Terengganu.

“We hope the organisation will go all out to collect historical items, conduct research and invite the participation of schoolchildren,” he added. — Bernama

Rumah yang dimiliki oleh Tuan Syed Assin, adik kepada Tuan Syed Adam, meninggal tahun 1940-an. Merupakan rumah kediaman yang dijadikan tempat Sekolah Agama Rakyat serta kelas pengajian Bahasa Inggeris di kitaran zaman itu.

Rumah itu kini, di hadapannya dibangunkan bangunan baru sekolah agama rakyat. Terletak berhampiran dengan Pekan Karai, Enggor. Keluarga dan pemilik rumah ini masih boleh dikunjungi.

Tuan Syed Adam yang dikenali sebagai 'alim besar Kuala Kangsar' pada kitaran 1920-1940 adalah seorang mursyid kepada Sultan Alang Iskandar Shah. Keluarga tuan Syed itu seluruhnya kini menyumbang dan menjadi tenaga pengajar agama di beberapa negeri dan daerah. Kebanyakannya berkelulusan Saujana dari Universiti al-Azhar juga beberapa pondok tempatan seperti Maahad Muhammadiah Kelantan.

Salah seorang murid Tuan Syed Adam itu ialah Pegawai Daerah Melayu pertama Kuala Kangsar.

Pada sebelum kejadian bah besar atau banjir besar kuala kangsar, Tuan Syed Adam pernah meminta orang ramai dan kenalan untuk menyediakan pondok di tanah-tanah tinggi tanpa menyebut darihal banjir tersebut.

Sehingga pada kejadian banjir besar yang hampir menenggelamkan Jam Besar dan Bandar Kuala Kangsar itu barulah, orang ramai terutama di sekitar perkampung Enggor menyedari amaran itu (ia adalah salah satu karamahnya)

its a building located in Kuala Kangsar, near MCKK and a Lutheran Church. there is a sign in near the house saying villa gahara but i'm not sure if thats the name of the house or the housing area.

architecturally superior than the sluggish new istana negara…..:lol:

^^ if i'm not mistaken there are about 3-4 istanas alone in KT area.

after the pusat beri royalti minyak, shud used the money wisely and help the needed rakyat and upgrade rural area.

^^+1 from a terengganuan..

I've been saying that many times.........

^^
cannot lah, if build it like this or istana melawati,people identified with terengganu architecture than KL or malaysia..
n it look out of place

just like the kasturi walk with a big wau there..come on what that? malay symbol?
but westcoast malay mana main wau,lagi2 kt KL

partly true about the architectural part, but at least if they really want to have a 'bumbung panjang' or 'tebar layar bertingkat' (the character of west coast), they have to make BOLD of these elements, not a 'weak' identity like the one they have now.

yeah i think they overdid the size and the numbers of domes
too overpowering those dome,and the kelabu purple atap is ?????
like i said,it ok to have dome in kl on account of kl station,n abd samad builing than the melawati 3tingkat roof system

palace should be mostly white as it the color of the sultan,


best example of a good malay style palace architecture is still nurul iman,

its really awkward to built a palace just in front the hill which i think not very stable. The location is not right and dangerous too. The good location for this palace is should be in:-
1. front of the sea, beach e.g Pantai Batu Burok
2. wide open green field
3. beside man-made lake, e.g nearby Masjid Terapung Terengganu
4. above hill
5. along Sg Terengganu near KT e.g Taman Tamadun Islam
