PAPAN NEW VILLAGE
GALLERY
Built in 1951 during the Emergency Period (1948-1960), this new village house was part of a forced relocation of villagers from nearby old villages around Papan Town. They had to rebuild their dismantled houses or construct new ones using available materials, such as raw tree trunks for columns and beams.The standard plot for these houses was 60x90 square feet, allowing for small-scale cultivation. However, due to limited suitable land, this row of houses was built on existing vacant commercial lots, leading to unresolved land title issues.Today, the Papan Heritage Conservation Group uses the house as the Papan Heritage Gallery, showcasing the town's history with artifacts donated by the community. The gallery attracts many visitors on public holidays and weekends.

OLD PAPAN
SCHOOL
Built in 1936 by a well-known tin miner, this shophouse served as his residence and office. During the Japanese Occupation (1942-1945), the miner was killed by the Malayan People’s Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA) for his close relations with Japanese officers and was considered a traitor. Another miner later purchased the house, obtaining mining concessions in Papan and planning to demolish properties for mining in the 1960s. In 1975, he loaned the building to the Papan Chinese primary school after his mining activities made their school building unsafe. The global tin price crash in 1985 devastated Malaysia's mining industry, inadvertently saving Papan and this building from demolition. The school relocated in the 1990s, leaving the building vacant since.

TIMBER HOUSE
The two-story timber shophouse, constructed in the 1920s on a street known as "New Town," is part of a historical row of five similar buildings. Of these, only three remain, with this particular shophouse being the only one still habitable.
Originally, it shared a common side wall and kitchen with an adjacent twin, but now only half of the roof remains, with a few old wooden trusses protruding from the vacated side.The last resident was an elderly woman named Kam Jie, who passed away two years ago. The Papan Heritage Conservation Group currently rents the house as a library and meeting place.
