This 1967 photograph shows a row of terrace houses from the late style at Emerald Hill Road. Each fronted by a forecourt, the houses feature bat-shaped vents on the first storey, and full-length French windows on the second. Emerald Hill Road, located near Orchard, was associated with the Peranakans in the 1930s as almost half the houses were owned by them. Date of creation estimated. Title devised by Library staff.
