PENANG’S colonial buildings have been immortalised in a book titled ‘The Penang House and the Straits Architect 1887-1941’ by author Dr Lim Sun Hock.

The book traces the work of the state’s European architects who created the magnificent and classic architectural structures on Penang island during the colonial age.
