 This historic area is located within the Pinangsia administrative village, the northern part of Taman Sari subdistrict.The area of Taman Sari, now located to the west of Mangga Besar railway station, was first developed in 1913 by the Municipality of Batavia as one of the first attempt to systematically meet the demand for housing for the increasing local native population of Jakarta.The original core area of Taman Sari was near the intersection of Prinsenlaan (Jalan Mangga Besar) and Drossaersweg (Jalan Taman Sari Raya).
