Ex Police Headquarter

This is one of my favorite Art Deco building with colorful windows at the facade. Built by CPW Schoemaker in 1917 and was used as Police Headquarter. Streamlines and simple, yet make one of the most important architecture achievement during art deco era in Bandung city. The building is vacant and the local municipal has still no idea what to do with this jewel.
