Traditional shop house exterior with blue wooden louvered shutters, windows and square ventilation ducts in the Little India District of Singapore

---

A striking 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 original louvered shutters and ornate ventilation ducts. 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.
