Battambang Architecture II

Different Styles of balconies on the Chinese School buildings

The Battambang Cinema, a seriously ugly block of a thing built in about 1970.  It is still in use today. In 1974 the Khmer Rouge threw a hand grenade into the crowd during a showing, killing many Cambodians.

A 1960's era apartment building in the style that began replacing the shop house design.  Buildings like this are all over Phnom Penh and other larger towns.
