Bersambung daripada Masjid jami' (Main mosque of) Birugo, Bukit Tinggi.

Continuing from Masjid jami' (Main mosque of) Birugo, Bukit Tinggi.

Dari Bukit Tinggi saya menaiki van awam ke kota Payakumbuh. Saya diberitahu ada sebuah masjid lama lalu mahu ke situ. Terlihat pula bangunan ini dahulu.

From Bukit Tinggi I took a public van to the city of Payakumbuh. I was told there is an old mosque and so I wanted to get there. But I saw this building first.

Ia dipanggl Balai Adat Nagari Koto Nan IV

It is called the Balai Adat (literarily the ceremonial hall of) Nagari Koto Nan IV.

Nampaknya ia digunakan untuk aktiviti-aktiviti melibatkan adat setempat...

Looks like it is used for activities involving  local custom and culture...
