Farewell Tyersall House

synapseman mourns the loss of Tyersall House, built in 1854 by William Napier, rebuilt in 1892 by Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor, and bombed in 1942 by the Japanese:

I just read in today's Strait's Times (9 August, NDP supplement) that Tyersall House is going to be torn down.

I'm very upset with that because I feel that the place is really, really, really beautiful. And it's not just another big house. It's got history behind it. So what's next? Condo? Shopping centre?
