Ipoh Town Hall

The Ipoh Town Hall was constructed in 1916 by again, the government architect A.B. Hubback. The back portion of this stately colonial building housed the former Post Office by unifying the two different buildings with a heavy plaster grooves on the lower floor. The building was built with a strong classical element known as the Classical Revival Architecture.
