Brief History

The heritage value of the Nationalist League Building is derived from its longstanding association with the Chinese Nationalist League and, through this, its association with an important aspect of life in most overseas Chinese communities in the twentieth century, namely intense involvement by the community in Chinese politics. The heritage value of the building is also derived from its architect and architecture.
