Check this out!If you are around the Tiong Bahru Estate, walk over to Block 37 Lim Liak Street to look at stack 45 & 47. These two stacks (or columns) have remained almost unchanged all these years.
It seems that no one has moved out before. (Just look at the ORIGINAL WINDOWS!) Even if the units did changed hands, the current occupants did not do much renovation to the units.
MediaCorp, if you need an authentic 1950’s backdrop, this place would be the one!
Better hurry before someone decided to renovate and you would have lost the opportunity FOREVER.
Here are some more past and present photos to ignite some nostalgia:
