Penang City Hall, Government building in George Town, Malaysia.
The City Hall stands as a two-story structure with white walls, symmetrical windows, and architectural elements reflecting Edwardian Baroque and Palladian designs.
Constructed in 1903 at a cost of 100,000 dollars, the building initially served as Municipal Offices before receiving its current name when George Town gained city status in 1957.
The building represents the British colonial influence in Penang through its architectural style and placement near the Esplanade's historic parade ground.
Located on Esplanade Road, the City Hall functions as the headquarters of the Penang Island City Council, handling local government operations and administrative services.
This building was among the first structures in Penang to incorporate electric lights and fans, marking a significant technological advancement for its time.
