Old Padang City Hall, Cultural property in Kampung Jawa, Indonesia.

The Old Padang City Hall features a four-sided clock tower at its corner and displays Art Deco elements through its windows and ornamental walls.

Thomas Karsten designed this administrative building in 1931, with construction completing in 1936 at a cost of 120,000 Dutch East Indies guilders.

The building stands as a representation of Dutch colonial architecture, incorporating decorative ventilation forms and structural elements from the early 20th century.

Located on Jalan Mohammad Yamin, the former city administration center remains structurally sound despite multiple earthquakes affecting the region.

The building will transform into a Heritage Museum following the relocation of city administration to Air Pacah in Koto Tangah District.
