The Chinese Chamber of Commerce building is a heritage building facing Light Street in George Town, Penang. The building is wrapped around the corner from Penang Street to Light Street with a colonnaded five-foot way on the outside. It was designed by a local architect, Chew Eng Eam in 1926. On the rooftop is an open air verandah with splended views of the greens of Esplanade or Padang Kota. The building carries ornamentations in the form of urns, corbels, terrace balustrades and mock Tudor gable.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce building is located on the opposite side of Penang Street from Foo Tye Sin Mansion, which was owned by one of the wealthiest persons in Penang in the late 19th century.

    SBI

    Ever want to build your own website? Do it the right way by using Site Build It (SBI). It has all the tools and lessons necessary to help you create a successful website. Once you have built an SBI website, you can also use it to recommend SBI to others with an SBI Affiliate account. What I like most about SBI is that it gives you a whole month to try it out for free, and if you don't like it after a full month, you can seek a full refund. That way, you can see for yourself how SBI can really help you create a great website.
