The Carpenters' Guild at 70 Love Lane is one of the oldest trades association in Penang. It was established by carpenters and brick layers who were mostly Cantonese of the Sing Leng sub-dialect group and dedicated to the patron saint of the Cantonese tradesmen, Lo Pan, literally "North Duke", and was called Lo Pan Hang. Despite the English translation of the name as "carpenter's" guild, the association actually encompass all types of craftsmen. The Carpenters' Guild was founded in 1850. Its original premises was at 5 Lebuh Penang. This is the starting point for craftsmen and builders - to be noted, mostly Cantonese - who arrived in Malaysia, whether to live here permanently, or on a limited-time contract, as artisans for temples and clan houses.
