Local notes —

The Cirebon City government’s British American Tobacco building profile gives 1924, Art Deco architecture and its original tobacco-factory function. A Cirebon Festival report dated 27 June 2025 provides arts and food context; the 2025 event is not a current festival schedule or vendor list. The address follows the main listing on Pasuketan Street, Lemahwungkuk, Cirebon City; the DPMPTSP office address in the portal footer is not the building’s address.

All three photographs record 1 June 2025. The gallery focuses on the exterior and does not establish interior access or present operations. Maps showing 24-hour opening and the portal’s operational-day field do not grant entry to the building. As advice, stay in accessible areas, respect property boundaries and confirm photography, parking and visiting rules with the operator. There is no need to stand in traffic to view the building.

The AI reference of 4.6/5 follows 3,061 reviews on the main Gedung BAT Cirebon Google Maps listing, checked 8 October 2026 without rating filters. One 5-point aggregate is adopted unchanged without independent quality or access assessment. Not firsthand experience or a Floopel user rating; confidence was not calculated. The pin follows the object marker, not a surveyed entrance or parking location.

Wikimedia Commons 1280-pixel renditions downloaded unchanged by the Floopel editor; no manual crop, retouch or upscaling. Public Floopel renditions may differ in dimensions and format. Photographs document their source dates, not present conditions or access.

Why it matters

A white facade, arched windows and an “ANNO 1924” marker make Gedung BAT recognizable on Pasuketan Street in Cirebon City. Formerly a tobacco factory, the building is introduced by the city government portal as an example of Art Deco architecture. The gallery shows the building and its facade details in June 2025.

The surrounding area also connects with Cirebon’s cultural life. The city government’s report on Cirebon Festival 2025 records arts, community activities and Peranakan food in the BAT area. This context offers a reason to understand the building as part of the city while observing its architecture from areas open to visitors.
