AHA Special Tour: Baba House (Session 1)
The ‘Baba House’ at 157 Neil Road — a former ancestral home of a Straits Chinese family — was restored by the URA for the NUS, and officially opened in September 2008. The house is a rare survivor in terms of having an intact and ornate domestic interior, in addition to its elaborate façade. It was turned into a heritage house to facilitate appreciation, reflection and research into Straits Chinese history and culture. This is articulated primarily through architectural conservation of the townhouse, and restoration of interiors including furnishing, household materials and decorative features. Click
