STAGGERING TRIO

These three adjoining two-storey shophouses are located in the vibrant Jalan Besar district of Singapore, within walking distance of Jalan Besar MRT, Rochor MRT, and Little India MRT stations.

Upper Weld Road is named after Sir Frederick Aloysius Weld, a colonial administrator who served as the Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1880 to 1887. The history of Upper Weld Road dates back to the late 19th century when Singapore was a British colony undergoing rapid development and urban expansion. During this period, Upper Weld Road emerged as a residential area, with many shophouses and terrace houses built along the street. These shophouses served both as living spaces and small businesses, catering to the needs of the local community.
