The Colombo Commercial Co at Weld Quay, Penang.

Old buildings like this are slowly disappearing from the Penang landscape. These buildings each have a story to tell. They make up the history of what Penang formerly was and still is – a strategic hub for commerce and culture. The joint listing of Penang and Melaka under UNESCO World Heritage Sites as Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca will see many of such buildings being preserved and restored to their past glories.
