Rumah Teh Bunga

Rumah Teh Bunga (GPS: 5.42182, 100.32793) or Floral Tea Mansion at 138 Hutton Lane is a stately double-storey historic bungalow in George Town. Built in the Malay Straits Eclectric style, it resembles the architecture of the Syed Alatas Mansion. It was given the name "Teh Bunga" due to the choice of colour for its exterior. The house was registered as a heritage building under the National Heritage Act 2005 in 2009.

Rumah Teh Bunga was built circa 1893 by a prominent Malay trader, M.Z. Merican, who is the son-in-law of Mohamed Ariff Mohamed Tajoodin, one of the richest Jawi Peranakan in the late 19th century (read also Mohd Ariff Mansion, Hutton Lane, Ariffin Court, Ariffin Road and Masjid Wan Chik Ariffin). According to the Jabatan Warisan Negara1, however, one Tuan Abdul Wabab was the original owner.
