Old Building at Jabatan Kehakiman of Kuching

 During the Japanese Occupation the buildings and roads were neglected,and the only construction works connected with this era is the building shown above which was to be occupied by the Audit Department and the Treasury at the end of India Street.This building blocked what was once of the main thorough fares of the town,caused congestion and incovenience in this era.

Today this building was fully renovated and opened up with two gates on the ground floor,thus people can now walk from India Street straight ahead to Carpenter Street as the usual way in the olden days.
