In the heart of Kuala Lumpur, amidst the dense conurbation and skyscrapers that tower above the city lights, is a glorious reminder of the past perched on the edge of the busy Jalan Stonor. Here, on a sprawling patch of land (a rarity in central KL) lies what was once the home of a mid-ranking British official during the colonial era.
