That Old Two-Storey House at Jomblang is Now Already Gone.

 


The above picture is taken during my visit in Semarang about ten years ago, when I was taking a walk around Jomblang area. Actually, it was hidden behind a high metal fence. I don't think someone who passing the main road at that time would realize this old house is existed. Most probably, the site is near to the location of formerly Jomblang old train station.

Whatever the case, we will never find the appearance as seen on the above picture, because now a totally different form of a building with another function is already there. The below picture is taken during my latest visit to Semarang.

An Old House Have Transformed to a Food & Beverage Outlet in Semarang Old City.

 

This is a view of a street intersection in an old city area in Semarang, with a food & beverage outlet is prominently situated as currently is. The picture is taken during my last visit in Semarang.

It is interesting to compare it with a picture I have taken in almost in the same spot, but is taken about ten years ago. The old scenery is documented in my old blog article. Obviously, this food & beverage outlet is converted from an old house which the original appearance could be seen in the following picture below.


It always interesting to make an observation, how new thing is transformed from an old thing. Anyway, the city will always growing and it maybe will also change something in my memory about certain thing.
