David Elias Building.

Singapore.

Elias was the first Jewish trader in Singapore. This building in the colonial style was considered opulent during his time. It was recently refurbished. The dusk lighting gave it the ambience of a postcard. There was an 18 room Chinese hotel known as Sun Sun. Accomodations were spartan but clean. At first, there was no air conditioning, only overhead fans. Today, it houses modern offices. Singapore is quite conscious of its heritage.
