Penang Hill boasts bungalows in various styles including the colonial, the Asian and the modern minimalist ones. Hillside Bungalow is one of the classics that showcases the British colonial style and the use of high-quality materials.
Built in the early 1900s, the bungalow is one of the oldest on Penang Hill and is classified as a Category II heritage building in the Penang Hill Local Plan 1998 and Penang Hill Special Area Plan 2016. The house was once used as a rest house for British government officers. After independence, it was turned into a rest house for public servants, but was left vacant thereafter.
