Blue Plaque For Heritage: Yangon Heritage Trust To Award 33rd Blue Plaque To Yangon Excelsior Hotel

Yangon Heritage Trust will award its 33rd Blue Plaque to Yangon Excelsior Hotel on Bo Sun Pat Street in Pabedan Township on the 28th of September.

Built around 1930, the 4-storey building originally housed the general headquarters of the British Steel Brothers Company specialized in mining, agricultural, mineral and wood resources.

Blue Plaques are permanent signs installed at a public place to commemorate a link between that location and a famous person, event, or landmark—serving as a kind of historical marker. Blue Plaques are one of the most effective and visible means to celebrate Yangon’s rich history, according to Yangon Heritage Trust.
