Old Medan City Hall is a building located on Jalan Balai Kota (City Hall Street), Medan, North Sumatra.
It was built during the Dutch East Indies era in 1908 by C. Boon,[1]
The City Hall is kilometre zero in Medan, and was originally built for De Javasche Bank (now Bank Indonesia), but was instead purchased by the City Council of Medan.[2] Its bell was donated in 1913 from the Tjong A Fie Mansion.
Medan City Hall is now owned and managed by the Grand Aston City Hall hotel-office-retail complex, situated just behind it.
