House for the Vice Govenor of Battambang
erected for the family of the first Vice Governor of Battambang. It has a distinctive architectural style, merging French-colonial style and traditional Khmer elements. Particularly the concrete sculptures supporting the roof are very uncommon for residential buildings. Those “Kenor” is a mythical female dancer with a body half human and half bird, normally only used for Wats and public buildings as decoration. The building is still public property and today illegally occupied by multiple families, which have filled the compound with their shelters.
