The building was probably built in the first half of the nineteenth century in a combination of Chinese, European and native Indonesian styles of architecture. At some point in the late colonial era, the residence was leased out and converted into a commercial store, called Sin Siong Bouw. After Independence in 1945, the name of the store was changed to Kompak. 6°09′54″S 106°50′04″E / 6.164889°S 106.834570°E / -6.164889; 106.834570
