Overview

This building is another fine example of the British colonial adaptation of Moorish architecture. A.B. Hubback's work features arches, domes and minarets, creating a somewhat Byzantine "Arabian Nights" fantasy land. Completed in 1917, it underwent major renovations in 1986. The building is linked to the General Post Office at Dayabumi Complex by an underground thoroughfare. The railway station that used to be housed here has been transferred to the new Kuala Lumpur Central building.
