Nowadays, people know this heritage mansion only as the main campus. Actually for a good many years - at least 70 years - it was the family home to the Yeap family. The mansion sits on a four-acre land at 54 Northam Road (also known as Millionaire's Row). The main building's floor plan is E-shaped and the story goes that its design was a tribute to Elizabeth I.
An annexe, which served as the kitchen and quarters, was added later to the building which connected to a mini Operetta next to the sea. Beneath the porch was a huge black, vintage Daimler. Nobody ever remembered seeing it driven on the roads since the 1980s. Maybe it was, but we wouldn't know.
