  Thio Thiaw Siat Building, George Town
|
The TTS Building is an impressive structure constructed in 1920 for the estate of the late Cheong Fatt Tze, whose alias is Thio Thiaw Siat, hence the initials TTS on the building. The building bears a combination of Eastern and Western elements reflective of the Straits Eclectic sense of aesthetics.
At the parapet level of the TTS Building are ornamental urns which are aligned with four piers to create the portico. Drapes appear to hang down from the ventilation holes.
When this article is written (20 June 2008), the TTS Building houses Georgetown College.
