Abstract:
Heritage area redevelopment is being widely carried out by many cities from outside and within the
country. This is supported by the development of the times and the need for describing old city
buildings that are characterized by the people of today's world. While the Medan city government still
seems to need a push in taking care of its colonial heritage buildings. This can be seen from the number
of heritage areas that are not managed and damaged even to be replaced with new buildings. Based on
the observations of researchers, the location in Medan city with old city buildings that can be used as
an architectural tourist area is the Kesawan Jalan Ahmad Yani area. This research study is based on
the typology of the facade consisting of roof, color, doors, windows, height, columns, building
ornaments. The purpose of this study was to examine the physical condition of the old city area of
Kesawan. This research used the qualitative method, data collected by observation. The conclusion of
this study is the condition of the facade of the building studied such as roofs, colors, doors, windows,
columns, height, and ornaments are still important factors that support the identity of the old city area
of Kesawan Medan, but in a state of concern because modern forms have begun to dominate.
