HSBC Bank

Standing tall and strong as the oldest bank in Ipoh, the HSBC building which is located along Belfield Street poised as a handsome Victorian Neo-Renaissance building. The building graces the city of Ipoh ever since its completion in year 1931.  


Facade of the HSBC Bank.


The base of the building consists of  square columns that do not have much design with it and have the sole purpose of serving as the supportive base of the HSBC building. 


On the second floor of the building, each columns were designed according to the Corinthian Order of the Greek architecture. The Corinthian style brings forth the visual impact of demure, stable and elegant towards the building.
