for everyone
23 Amber Road is a 95 year old house in the Katong area of Singapore, nicknamed the Butterfly House. It is scheduled for demolition to be replaced by a block of flats.
The house was built in 1912 by Regent A J Bidwell. Bidwell was the architect who designed the Raffles Hotel, Victoria Concert House, Stamford House and the Goodwood Park Hotel.
This is the only private residence designed by Bidwell in the "butterfly style" (semi-circular) and is therefore unique and of great historical and architectural interest. It was the home of the Cashin family for three generations.

This house is no doubt beautiful and grand.
