Blair Plain conservation area - Singapore 089903

Genteel old hamlet oasis

Conducive , old-feel in modern surroundings. No shows here, just offices.

A very nostalgic town and for those who wish to reminisce singapore olden days

Great streets to walk along to admire the various shophouses.

Good place to find quaint little cafes, take very nice photographs or pint while immersing in local history.

The Blair Plain conservation area is a very scenic area to breathe in Peranakan culture (there is a even a shop selling Peranakan antiques named Guan Antiques around the area) and see loud, colorful shophouses. For me the highlight of the area would be 157 Neil Road. Known as the NUS Baba House, it is a Peranakan pre-war terrace-house which was formerly owned by the family of a 19th-century shipping tycoon Wee Bin who settled in Singapore, after arriving from the southern Chinese province of Fujian There are also architectures that had clinched the prestigious Architectural Heritage Awards around the area. They are as follows : 1. 149 Neil Road 2. 55 Spottiswoode Park Road 3. 64-1 Spottiswoode Park Road 4. 153 Neil Road 5. 55 Blair Road 6. 59 Blair Road Things to take note when you're exploring the area : 1. Do be careful of personal safety - I had seen locals and tourists alike who had been trying to take pictures on the road (those that car move on ?) and were almost run down by cars! Hence, do be careful of the traffic around you when taking photos and choose a safe spot. 2. Do respect privacy - Many of the houses are private residences and they are normal people like you and me going about their daily lives (watching tv, reading, picking their nose). Try to be more sensitive about it when you're exploring one of Singapore's most scenic spots and don't intrude their lives unnecessarily.
