A Snapshot to an Old Building with a Corner Tower


This corner tower belonging to an old building is currently prominent on the side of the main road  of the old city of Semarang. Actually, this is a restaurant that serves various local dishes.

This restaurant building is attached directly to the building next to it, namely the Bank Mandiri Office Building. This Bank Mandiri Ofice Building is known as an office that occupies a former "Societet de Harmonie" Building, a kind of Social Club Building from Dutch Colonial Era.



But if  we carefully look at the detailed shape of the corner tower of the restaurant building, it looks similar to the corner tower of the Bank Mandiri Office at the opposite far side. It looks like the restaurant building once was part of the same building as the building next to it.

I took some pictures of this spot more than ten years ago (as seen on pictures below). Basically, the appearance still the same and the overall shape of the building is well preserved. The older photos depict building as appearing to be a building is not open for public. And nowadays, the appearance of the same building becomes more alive.
