Teoh Kongsi

Teoh Kongsi is a clan association founded by local Penang tycoon of the turn of the 20th century, Cheong Fatt Tze, whose Hokkien name happens to be Teoh Thiaw Siat. The association has its premises fronting Lebuh Carnavon. It is located in a recessed compound with the archway at Lebuh Carnavon.

Teoh Kongsi was founded in 1895 and is presently housed in a two-storey Straits Eclectic style building built in 1931. The upper floor is given to the Teoh clan temple.

The road near it was called Hong Kong Street, but after Cheong Fatt Tze Road was erased by the Komtar development, Hong Kong Street was renamed Jalan Cheong Fatt Tze.

Getting there

Teoh Kongsi is located at Lebuh Carnavon. It can be reached by taking the Rapid Penang Bus 10, 301, 302, 307, 401 and 502, disembarking at Lebuh Carnavon. Check the Rapid Penang Bus Routes for details.
