The building of Cafe Batavia is a UNESCO Heritage Site located in Jakarta Indonesia.
Wikipedia.com says that:
The historic building was erected between 1805 and 1950, and after the stadhuis (now Jakarta History Museum), is the second old building on Fatahillah Square. Over the years it has served variously as a residence, warehouse, office, and more recently, as a coffee shop and art gallery.
I really thank Professor Darryl who used to work with UNESCO for bringing us here hours before our flight back to our own destinations. I was traveling back to the Philippines while my friends are traveling back to Bangladesh, Thailand, and the USA.
Come and visit the historic Cafe Batavia when you happen to visit Jakarta, Indonesia.

Steel was used in the building for the first time
during its 1992 – 1993 restoration. The Glass concervatory was added at
this time, completing a return to the cafe’s 1937 elegance.
Café Batavia’s upstairs Churchill Bar was included in Newsweek
Magazine’s “The World’s Best Bars” supplement, on October 31, 1994 and
again in October 21, 1996.
