A little bird told me...............
Heritage Centre No2 Jln Stonor-houses the secretariat of Badan Warisan, which promotes a better understanding and appreciation of our nations's building heritage.
Do you know that it was one of the 1,150 govt quarters built in KL in the 1920s? It once serves as the residence for British officers during the colonial era. After independence, it housed families of senior members of the Malayan and Malaysian Govt.
Classified as a ClassIII govertment quarters- has a "Mock Tudor" style architecture.
1996- Badan Warisan took over from Hicom Properties which were using the site as its office since 1983.
The main building has now been adapted into rooms for exhibitions and meetings, a unique library and resource centre
Located amidst the modern development of Petronas in the vicinity, serves as a good reminder of our historical roots.
Heritage Garden, beside the building, is a project where 150 trees and other flora are planted, mainly indigenious, all of which have a historic, environmental or cultural significance for Malaysia.
