George Town, Penang, has a handful of famous Chinese merchant homes, the most famous one being the Blue Mansion. Another house in town was owned by Yeap Chor Ee. Immigrant, barber, merchant, banker, Yeap lived the classic rags to riches story.
Grand entry hall. The house is a classic Chinese shophouse, built in the late 1800s.
Portraits of lives lived.
The house is filled with Yeap's family history, mostly told through wall info.
The ponies seemed to be big in Yeap's life, garnering some victories.
