Guinness
house | 1934
This is a very compact 1934 two bedroom abode. This
is truly a building which best demonstrates that quality does
not have to mean quantity.
The overall architecture and decoration incoporates many different
elements from Chinese, Malay and European influences.
From its ornate decoration to the front of the property it
was clearly made for a Chinese family back in the day.
The original paint colours can still be seen on the walls,
wooden window frames and doors, if a little worn out. It surely
must have been a bright happy place when new.
However, locals claim the original owner was murdered within
its walls and so believe evil spirit reside within. I hate
that when that happens.
The mere suggestion of this has had an interesting bonus effect
(if you can call it that), as it has rendered the property
more or less immune to vandals, graffiti (not counting occult
loonies) and even scrap metal thieves! Who would have guessed,
evil spirits, the ultimate in building conservation!
As I am a paid up skeptic I am naturally immune from such
evilness and so bring you these pics.
