Ipoh railway station is an iconic building at Ipoh, Malaysia. Part of the building had been converted to a hotel. But it seems the hotel was now closed. The plaza in front of the station was also being redeveloped when we visited the place.
The Ipoh railway station were designed and constructed by Arthur Benison Hubback, a British architectural assistant to the Director of Public Works. Having served in India, Hubback utilised his knowledge of Anglo-Asian architecture in the region on the station's design. The "Neo-Moorish/Mughal/Indo-Saracenic/Neo-Saracenic" style was not uncommon at the time.
