Home - House Of Tan Yeok Nee

Where History
Lives Within

Built in the 1880s by Teochew businessman Tan Yeok Nee, this is the sole survivor of Singapore’s “Four Grand Mansions”. It is a showcase of exquisite Teochew craftsmanship, from ornate wood carvings to vibrant ceramic inlays. A National Monument and enduring heritage landmark at the gateway to Orchard Road, Singapore.
