About
This development comprises three shophouses (Nos. 67, 69 & 71). The middle one was reconstructed to replicate the façade design of the two pre-war shophouses on its sides.
The Legacy
Prior to restoration, the pre-war shophouses were in relatively good condition except for their windows, which had been changed to architecturally incompatible types. When repurposed into a boutique hotel, the original window design was reinstated and the finished product has helped to retain the historic streetscape of Keong Saik Road. Nearby is a prominent landmark — the Sri Layan Sithi Vinayagar Temple, built in 1925 and dedicated to the elephant-headed god Ganesha.
