The Tjong A Fie Mansion is a grand, early 20th-century Peranakan-style house in Medan, Indonesia, built by the influential Chinese merchant and community leader Tjong A Fie. Completed in 1900, it blends European, Malay, Chinese, and Art Deco architectural elements, reflecting Medan’s cosmopolitan history as a major center of the Sumatran plantation economy.
