Henri Maclaine Pont

Henri Maclaine Pont (Meester Cornelis, Batavia, 21 June 1884 – The Hague, 3 December 1971) was a Dutch architect and archaeologist active in Indonesia, acclaimed for his synthesis of Javanese and western architecture.

After graduation, he moved back to the Dutch East Indies, where in 1911 he received his first major work, the design of the Semarang-Cheribon Steam Tram Company headquarters.

Soon, however, he fell ill and being forced to return to the Netherlands, sold the firm to Karsten, Lutjens, and Steenstra Toussaint.

Due to the lack in job vacancies at the Bandung Technical School, he left Indonesia in 1947 for The Hague, where he died in 1971.

His notable works also include the original Trowulan Museum (1932) and the Puh Sarang Catholic church in Kediri (1937).
