LOT 10 @ Loke Hall
Loke Hall was built in a Straits Eclectic style, featuring strong Neo-Classical and Renaissance influences. In 2014, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) launched its pilot conservation project on Loke Hall, recognizing its historical significance. The restoration followed the National Heritage Act 2005, using traditional materials like lime, traditional methods, and heritage craftsmanship. Major works included the removal of modern alterations, restoration of natural ventilation, repairs of roof leaks, and the replacing of inaccurate materials with historically accurate ones. Key features like encaustic tiles, glazed balusters, and an entire missing staircase, were carefully restored or reconstructed. The project also extended to the boundary walls and gate, reviving their original design.
