Twins Right House 1936


This photo shows the corner Semeru Street- Kayutangan. The photographer stands at the Riebeeck Street (now Kahuripan Street).
The right twin building used to be a branch of the bookshop “Sluyter - G.C.T. van Dorp & Co”.
At the intersection Kayutangan-Semeru-Kahuripan are 4 shop buildings made in 1935 in Art Deco style. Every building has a tower that can be used as an orientation mark for the traffic. In
the city planning by Thomas Karsten (1884-1945) this intersection was the centre of the road system in Malang. That’s why there are 4 attractive buildings there.
