Ursuline convent in 1920

The Ursulin monastery at Tjelaket (now Jaksa Agung Suprapto Street) was built in 1920. Now the building is still the same.

Hotel Mabes 1939

The 1939 photo is little different from the 1936 photo. This photo shows many olden days vehicles as well: cars, bus, bicycles and we meet the tricycle minibus again. Drugstore “MIM” changed name into “Malangsche Apotheek”. The trees that were too close to the intersection have been removed. And behind the hotel a transformator station just has been built. The shape of the hotel building looks like a steam ship and the style is “streamline moderne”. During the 1950s this building served as a YMCA hotel.

Now the building is demolished and a big and ugly BCA bank building took over its place.

Hotel Mabes 1936

This photo shows the corner Kayutangan – Riebeeck Street (Kahuripan Street now). At the middle of the intersection is a traffic light hanging on cables. Many traffic crosses this intersection. We can see pedestrians, a cow carriage, horse carriages, cars and a three cycle mini bus. We see the Hotel Mabes building and drugs store MIM. The shape looks like a steam ship and the style is “streamline moderne”. During the 1950s this building served as a YMCA hotel. Now the building is demolished and a big and ugly BCA bank building took over its place.
