Han Chin Pet Soo (3) ...The Upstairs of the Club...

This heavy door leads to the upstairs of the club. This solid wood staircase is similar to those found at the the Station Hotel and Muzium Darul Ridzuan...

..at the top of the landing...a lounge area which opens out to the verandah at the back of the club..

..the verandah looks out to the Kinta River...

..the furniture at the lounge area.... still the same as when it started..... i love the floor tiles..

..the games room...mahjong tables.. this room is air conditioned....

,.. nice furniture....it has a very comfortable atmosphere in here...

..a government letter dated 1897 permitting the "members of the chinese club to gamble....."
 

..the club's rules and regulations?...hanging on the wall of the games room...

a lovely club ..right in the heart of old town..next to the Kinta River...another heritage landmark ..from its building,floorings and furniture..a glimpse of Ipoh of a time gone by....

the invitation to photograph this club was a privilege indeed.....
