@buildingstories_sg: This is Singapore’s first air-conditioned shopping mall, opened in 1973! If you find this design familiar, especially these round windows, it’s because its modular design is similar to Golden Mile Complex-both were designed by the same architects. Katong Shopping Centre was lively, known for its hobby craft shops, printing services, and even a bowling alley adding to the buzz. Today, however, much of the space is occupied by maid agencies, a big shift from its heyday. The place is still a big draw for foodies looking for a plate of chicken rice or a slice of banana pie!
