This is the close up view of the gate of that old 1936 house at Meyer Road in my previous post. Take a closer look and you can see the letters J and S and two “human head” like as gate knobs. Anyone has any idea about this house?

1936 House At Meyer Road

This is an interesting old house probably built in 1936 as inscribed on the top exterior wall of the house. This is probably classified under bungalow (pls correct me if I’m wrong) and located next to the junction of Fort Road and Meyer Road (opposite Katong Park and next to the old Duke Hotel). I’m not sure what is it used for now but I will show you in the next few days, the various views of this house. The address of this house is 30 Meyer Road.

Commonly known as Jalan Besar Hawker Centre. This is located along Jalan Besar just before Sim Lim Tower. I really don’t know when it is known as Berseh Food Centre… since when they started to change the term “Hawker Centre” to “Food Centre”?

Ever wonder why there is Ceylon Flats and Ceylon Road in Singapore? Ceylonese came to Singapore in the years 1870-75. They settled around Ceylon Road, Marshall Road, Haig Road and Tanjong Katong Road. I guess this Celong Flats was built for their accomodation.
