This 1964 photograph shows a street scene at Chulia Street. It also shows the façade of the old OCBC headquarters, also known as the China Building. Built in traditional Chinese architectural style, the China Building features a distinctive roof. Several smaller buildings can be partially seen on either side of China Building. Across the small road that runs along the front of the building, is a traffic island at which several cars are parked. Title devised by Library staff.
