About Baroque House Secret Garden Tour
Visit this shophouse unlike any other as Sonia Ong the proprietress recounts her discovery of this abandoned shophouse in 2020, how she nursed it back to health from shambles, and was then rewarded with a few surprises by the house itself.
Join her on her journey back to 1919 in the locale when the house was built, when Singapore was a part of Malaya, when the British ruled Singapore, when Little India wasn’t Little India yet, when horse carriages were still the rage and when Rowell Road was famous. Get intimate with the architectural intricacies and design details of the traditional shophouse in its raw, patina-aged beauty.
About Baroque House
Baroque House is a pre-war conservation shophouse designed by the prominent Eurasian architect JB Westerhout located in the most vibrant heritage district in Singapore with its own fascinating history.
The former courtyard and roof gable of what was possibly a grand country home was packed away inside a row of two-storey shophouses 103 years ago and its glorious secrets hidden from the world until now.
Today Baroque House has been rebirthed and restored having been wired with all the modern comforts of the 21st century while retaining the design, spirit, integrity and details of the original shophouse. Come discover this secret garden of history and finery.
