Shophouses would grow increasingly ornate later in the 19th and 20th centuries when the British took over and Western design elements like classical pilasters and intricate plaster moldings were added to the shophouse’s list of signature features. This new fusion resulted in its own genre, an architectural style delightfully called “Straits Eclectic.”
