An excellent example of a British tropical colonial mansion, this historical structure was once the former residence of the family and followers of Sultan Hussein Mohamed Shah of Johor. When it was completed in 1820, it occupied an area twice the size of the present compound but this was halved in 1824 through the construction of North Bridge Road. Until early 1999, it was the private residence for the sultan's descendants and described as the world's most informal royal palace, where visitors were permitted to walk the grounds.
