Historic terrace houses in Penang
While the public buildings and religious structures of Penang get a lot of attention, there are a number of interesting homes and shop-houses along the streets of the heritage district. One of the best preserved streets to wander down is Armenian Street, where you can find the Syed Alatas Mansion, the house used by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, and other interesting buildings. A bit further away and over towards Beach street is the Pinang Peranakan Mansion, a beautifully restored stately home of a Baba-Nonya family.
