Traditional shop house exterior with blue wooden louvered shutters, arched windows and ornate carvings in the Little India District of Singapore

---

A beautiful example of late 19th Century Peranakan or Straits Chinese architecture, this classic terraced town house in Singapore's historic Little India District is unique for its arched windows, blue louvered wooden shutters and ornate moldings or carvings. It would have been home at the turn of the 19th Century to a rich local Towkay, or businessman and his family. Lovingly restored, it is a classic example of Peranakan architecture.
