Located in the historic inner city of George Town, the Mansion, dazzling in its original indigo-blue, is the mysterious Orient's best preserved paradigm Chinese courtyard house. Painstakingly restored in recent years, the myth behind "China's last Mandarin and first Capitalist" is revealed in the architecture that incorporates 38 rooms, 5 granite-paved courtyards, 7 staircases and 220 vernacular timber louvre windows.

The building's eclectic character is a reflection of the times at the end of the 19th Century when the myths and magic of the Chinese Kingdom embraced the glory of the British Empire in a whirling pool of cross-cultural energies.

The cycle of life has been restored to the Mansion, to reactivate the intrinsic meaning of the place. As a private, inward-looking home, the values of family life and filial piety were nurtured by Cheong Fatt Tze who led by word and deed. Except for the incorporation of modern sanitary and ventilation amenities in the bedrooms, the original building fabric has been lovingly restored in pursuit of authenticity.

High ceilings timber floorboards on joists, ventilated rooms with open cast iron fanlights, sheltered verandahways around courtyards open to the sky, hand-plastered walls, lime-wash in Indigo Blue and Chinese lacquered doors and windows are some elements that pay respect to the traditions of a distant past. The ambience is as it was.

Blessed by the spirit of great architecture and a sense of community, the place invites us to take a step back into the past. It has been awarded UNESCO's Asia-Pacific Heritage 2000 Award for Conservation.
