E J H Corner House
About
Built in the 1920s, E J H Corner House is a two-storey symmetrical "Black and White" bungalow nestled among lush vegetation at the top of a slope. Its compact form and intimate scale give it a charming air that blends well with the garden setting.
The History
The building was named after Eldred John Henry Corner, the Assistant Director of the Gardens from 1929 to 1945. He specialised in mycology, mainly in the collection and study of local fungi and the ecological study of swamp forests, and was also known as the author of the book "Wayside Trees of Malaya".
