Central Georgetown, Malaysia ~ 1808
The Acheen St. Mosque was built by Tengku Syed Hussain who came from Aceh, a province in modern day Indonesia. It was built in Georgetown, Malaysia on 1808. The mosque is located in a common location, standing among houses, shops, and even a cemetary where its builder is burried. It plays in important role in introducing the Muslim religion in Southeast Asia.
The mosque used a unique combination of colors: light cream color with sky blue accent, which people don't usually find in the remaining old architecture. The main hall is long and empty, providing space for a gathering of prayer, and its windows arched and its many posts hold up the ceiling.
