House of Tan Yeok Nee, Traditional Chinese mansion in Central District, Singapore
The two-story residence features traditional Teochew architectural elements with marble columns, intricate carvings, and special roof tiles at Penang Road junction.
Built in 1882 by merchant Tan Yeok Nee, the mansion served multiple purposes including as railway station master residence and Salvation Army headquarters.
The building incorporates Chinese design principles with decorative elements telling stories of Tan Yeok Nee's ancestry through detailed carvings and pottery.
The property now functions as part of Amity Global Institute at 101 Penang Road, maintaining its commercial status as one of five privately-owned national monuments.
This mansion remains the last of four grand residences constructed by Teochew tycoons during Singapore's late nineteenth century development period.
