About
This Chinese Baroque style house together with the adjacent terrace houses at 39 and 43 Emerald Hill Road were built as one development by Goh Kee Hoon. They were designed by Wan Mohamad Kassim in 1905 when he was head of the architectural department at the firm G. A. Fernandez & Company.
This house was restored from 1990 to 1991 and boasts fine craftsmanship in wood, metal and plasterwork. The intricately carved antique pintu pagar (half-length door) at the entrance to the house was salvaged from another house in Smith Street.
