Pre-Industrial Grandeur of 25 China Street: A Typological Analysis of 1840s Straits Chinese Courtyard Architecture and Craftsmanship in George Town, Penang

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Unlike the hyper-opulent, late-19th-century Anglo-Chinese eclectic mansions defined by imported European industrial materials, 25 China Street in George Town (Penang) stands as a rare, unified three-bay example of mid-19th-century Straits Chinese residential-commercial architecture, relying strictly on regional Southern Chinese structural craftsmanship, traditional climate-responsive geometry, and an ornamental language dominated by glazed ceramic work.
