Jalan Pekojan Old Houses
Jalan Pekojan, Jakarta, Indonesia 11240 Tambora Phone: Not AvailableAbout
This series of quaint Chinese-style houses was erected around the 1770s during the colonial period after consultation with the Dutch East India Company (V.O.C.). Designed and constructed by Chinese contractors, they and others in the area were originally intended to resettle the Chinese community after the civil unrest of 1737-1741. Since then the old houses have served various other functions. Today, some are converted into temples and ash houses. Admission is free.
