This 1970 photograph shows the exterior of a shophouse, together with its ornate swinging doors in Malacca. These swinging doors (pintu pagar) are a typical feature of Peranakan houses, allowing in breezes while maintaining privacy. Two casement windows, with security iron bars, can be seen. A black gilded Chinese plaque, with Chinese characters, is hung above the door. Title devised by Library staff.
