Traditional shop house exterior with white wooden louvered shutters and arched windows in Singapore's historic Everton Park


A striking example of late 19th Century Peranakan or Straits Chinese architecture, this classic terraced town house in Singapore's historic Everton Park is unique for its arched windows, original louvered 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 one of the most distinctive example of Peranakan architecture in the area.
