This 1966 photograph shows a house on Bukit Pasoh Road, with its swinging doors. These swinging doors (pintu pagar) are a typical feature of Peranakan houses, allowing in breezes while maintaining privacy. Other features include windows with iron security bars and bat-shaped vents. Title devised by Library staff.
