Tye Kee Yoon Building, George Town, Penang (31 January 2025)
Tye Kee Yoon Building (GPS: 5.41486, 100.32878) is a 3-storey commercial property in George Town, Penang. Not to be confused with Tye Kee Yoon Mansion, this building is located on Jalan Penang, across the road from Komtar. It was built in 1955 in the early Modern architecture style.
The 3-storey building has shoplots on the ground floor with walk-up apartments on the 1st and 2nd floors. The property was named after Tye Kee Yoon, one of the major property owners in Penang in the early 20th century. The building itself was erected long after his passing. It is just one of many reminders of him, including Jalan Tye Kee Yoon, the Shih Chung Branch School, and the Goh Chan Lau Mansion, among others.
