Arlene House, Ipoh (19 August, 2006)
Chung Thye Phin Building (GPS: 4.59682, 101.07723), nowadays called Arlene House and previously Bangunan Sztolee, is a historic building in Ipoh, Perak. It is located at the junction of Jalan Sultan Yusuf and Jalan Dato Maharajalela (Station Road). The building was named after Kapitan Cina Chung Thye Phin, the last Kapitan Cina of Perak. It was built in 1907. For much of its early years, it was associated with the medical industry, playing the roles of dispensary and medical hall.
The medical hall was established by Dr R.M. Connolly, who served the colonial government in the early 20th century before going into private practice. He was also the founder of the Perak Anti-Opium Society and once served as editor of the Times of Malaya.
