This row of shop-houses is one of the oldest buildings on the Penang Island, probably built after the Second World War. While one of them had been renovated, others still retained the old look and materials. Some of them are no more fit to stay and hence not occupied. It is not easy for materials, especially timber, to last more than 60 years in the tropical climate, even the roof tiles are disintegrating.
