The Lee Rubber Building ({{lang-ms|Bangunan Lee Rubber}}) is a historical building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

History

The building was constructed in 1930 with a grey color facade. Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Kuala Lumpur at that time. In 1942-1945, the building was used by the Japanese government as the headquarter of Japanese secret police during World War II. In 1950s, an additional floor was added to the structure, making it a five-story building. In 2003, Popular bookshop opened for operation in the building.[1] The building was put up for sale in 2015; the Popular bookstore and the Kasturi tuition centre upstairs vacated the building several months later as a result.[2] Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur City Hall by-laws prohibit the demolition or significant structural alteration to the heritage building.

Architecture

The building was designed by Arthur Oakley Coltman of the Booty Edwards & Partners company. The building is preserved under the National Heritage Act and is listed as a heritage structure category 2 by Kuala Lumpur City Hall.[2]

Transportation

The building is accessible within walking distance northeast of Pasar Seni LRT/MRT station..[2]
