The Birao Building (Lawang Satus). The Birao Building is one of the cultural heritages in Tegal City. This building is located on Pancasila Street, in front of the Pancasila Monument and close to legal City Square and train station. The Birao Building was first designed in 1911 by a prominent Dutch descent architect named Henri Maclaine Pont. The building was influenced by most Dutch architectures. The size of the building is 7 106 square meters which expands from east to west. Previously, this building was functioned as the office of the private railway company Semarang- Cheribon Stoomtram Matschappu (SCS), a subsidiary of the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS) Company. The building was used an administrative place related to the railway company, during the construction of the Cirebon-Semarang railway line. The construction of the Birao Building was adjusted to the environmental conditions, as it is in Lawang Sewu The building was designed in such a way to suit the climate sunshine, and lifestyle of the local people at that time. Unlike Europeans who preferred to use imported materials, Maclaine Pont used local materials such as teak, bricks, and local sand to build the building The architect deliberately made the shape of the Birao Building similar to the NIS headquarters in Semarang, Lawang Sewu. It has many wide doors and windows with less numbers. So people called it Lawang Satus. The Birao building became a silent witness to the history of the Dutch East Indies period. After the Proclamation, on 10 September 1945, this building was used as a place to raise the Indonesian flag. It proved the movement of the Tegal local people against the invaders who forbade the raising of the flag at that time. In 1980, the Birao Building was leased by Pancasakti Tegal Foundation. The foundation then used it as the campus of Pancasakti Tegal University (UPS).
