Ban Hin Lee Bank Building
43 Beach Street, George Town, Penang
|
The Ban Hin Lee Bank Building was designed by Ung Ban Hoe, the first Chinese architect in Penang, working for the architectural firm of Stark & McNeill. It was completed in 1936 in the Art Deco style. The grand classical front and thick walls were to give the appearance of solidness.
Ban Hin Lee Bank was founded in 1935 by Yeap Chor Ee, who made his fortune during the rubber slump of the 1930s, and acquired Homestead, one of the most impressive mansions in Penang.
