" This stately colonial building with strong classical element was designed by government architect, A.B Hubback, who also designed the Railway Station. The Town Hall has been the venue of many significant events."
The
construction of the Town Hall and Post Office began in 1914 but the
shortage of materials and high costs of labour caused by World War I
delayed its completion until 1916.

at Club Road, this stately colonial building with strong classical
elements was designed by government architect, A.B Hubback, who also
designed the Railway Station. The contractor was Lim Weng Ching. The
post office occupied the eastern part of the building, with its entrance
from Post Office Road. The Post and Telegraphs Department moved from
Taiping to Ipoh in 1928.
