Hey David, thanks for your comments. Yes, there are many errors in the spelling of the Hubback's name and yes, the Seremban Library was designed by A. B. Hubback as well. Such a fine building, which I pass by everytime (next time must get a photo) as my in laws are from Seremban! Shame on me! Would appreciate some linkback if you still find the information useful. Take care and all the best!

Hi, your blog is very interesting. I visited Seremban today and the plaque outside the State Library said that the building was designed by "B.P. Hubback". I assume that is a misprint and that it should read A.B Hubback? Or is there another brother that we do not know about? Just want to get the correct facts for my blog http://thriftytraveller.wordpress.com/
Thanks, David

I've known of the late AB Hubback for some time since my days as an architectural student in the early '80s. The buildings he designed among others, the Railway station KL, Masjid Jamek, and the Ubudiah Mosque were my favourites of the Colonial period during my student years and still are. Hitherto I've not been able to learn more about this great man as historical information was scarcely available. Now thanks to your blog this is no longer the case. All the best to you, and keep up the good work. Please do send my regards to the Hubback family.

I'm someone who enjoys learning more about the history and culture of places around the world, especially of my own country, Malaysia. I'm really pleased that the Station Hotel has undertaken this project to highlight the contributions of the Hubback brothers in Malaya. As you say in your post, keep fighting for this good cause! And hopefully, Malaysians will come to know more about the people who are behind the development of Malaya. I look forward to following the progress of this project and for more insightful posts from this blog... :) Syabas!
