Ex-Stationmaster's House, Sentul, KL, Malaysia - March 2015

Report 4 from Kuala Lumpur. This was one of the places I did manage to find and locate prior to going out and about. More historic than the previous two sites this is a former railway building just west of the current-day Sentul station, north of the centre of KL. It is located in the grounds of KL-PAC - the KL Performing Arts Centre. I had read on-line of a rather over-officious security guard in attendance and to my dread did catch a glimpse through the fence of the station of a man in uniform. Having walked south of the station and looped back round I strolled along the drive into the grounds of KLPAC and spotted my quarry. Out came the camera and I started to take some externals. Then I heard a whistle. Yes - it was our guard friend. So I duly ignored him and continued taking pictures. Then he caught up with me and said "It's not permitted to take pictures of this building". "Why not? I'm not inside - I'm on the road." I clearly wasn't going to get anywhere with this show-stopper on my tail so I circled the building, again ignoring his instructions that I shouldn't take pictures and then headed back down the drive. So plenty of externals but sadly no internals, although this rather super building was somewhat of a shell anyhow.

Had look for some history on the place and this all I managed to turn up was the fact that it used to be the Station Master's house.

Here’s the pictures:

Thanks for looking!

Ha, fantastic!
Well done for being ballsy, great shots of a beautifully detailed building.

Even though Warden Hodges wouldn't let you in, you still did a good job here.

Wonderful, even got the guard

Cheers guys. Yeah...he was a bit of a job's worth!. Give a man a whistle and a truncheon...

Nice bit of colonial architecture great shot of the feds too,thanks for sharing.

Very nice! The station master did well....my Grandfather was a station master for southern railways, back in his day they got houses too. His first was an extension to the mail sorting room at a link station his second and final house was a 3up 3down about 4 feet from a mainline!!
