This building is former Dutch Colonial Trade Office in related with teak wood trading activities during old colonial era. Currently, the building is owned by a local government owned company. The building should be a witness how busy and the important of Semarang sea harbor during Dutch Colonial Era.
The building is nicely set-up in a great exposure in the middle of open green landscape with small buildings surrounding it in backyard area. The building nice set-back against the street always makes this building look in its wholeness in shape. A formal building shape with strong symmetrical shape compositions.
