Cheah Kongsi

Cheah Kongsi
Cheah Kongsi

 
The Cheah Kongsi is in the block next to the Khoo Kongsi. The entrance is through a narrow alley off Lebuh Armenian. Although the compound is much smaller, the temple building itself is quite beautiful. It's likely to get even better, since the temple was undergoing extensive renovation in mid-2003.

Columns topped with British-styled lion heads support a balcony with an intricate iron railing. The main building is flanked by courtyards. The entrance to these was being decorated with etched black marble panels.
