The rest house with its splendid colonial-styled architecture with imposing raintrees for shade at the entrance- a definite object of conservation of Raubian heritage.
The old Police Station, built in 1906, is restored and no longer in use. Hope it will be some kind of museum at least...
The main street with a gaudily colored wall housing the famous curry chicken sempalit... 
One the only few remaining old townhouse dating from the turn of the 20th century
The same house, upclose...
The details of the doors... 
Ye olde pawnshop still exists...
The oldest shoplot in town- Yong Joo Long, was founded in 1900.
The Town Council building repainted gray. Before, this was painted in whitewash, as it should be to respect the needs of the climate and esthetics but I suppose air-conditioning can change the ideas of esthetics in architecture...
Perched high on top of the hill (at the back) is the colonial bungalow in half-wood, half concrete design meant for the residence of the district officer...a heritage from its colonial past.
