Khoo Front in Malaysia
October 17, 2003

The Khoo Kongsi (Khoo Clan House) is the biggest and most beautiful of all the Kongsi in Penang, Malaysia. It was originally started in 1835, but burned to the ground the night that it was completed in 1901. Some said that the house was too elaborate and offended the gods, so this is the "scaled-down, non-intricate" version.
