Black and White Keys from The Colonial Era

Indonesia was colonized by Dutch for 300 years and they left some old buildings. The classic Dutch style is one of my favorite architectural designs. Colonial-style houses usually has high double-door and wide equal leg arch windows. It also has two galleries, in the front of the house and the backside. The patio, where usually the owner had tea-time while enjoying the afternoon sky. Depending to the height of the door and window, the walls are also usually designed to be much higher.

I remember my visit to Linggarjati Agreement museum in Linggarjati village, near Kuningan. I found a piano in the living room which was used for the agreement discussion. It simply reminds me to colonial-style houses which own piano within.
