Information About

This is the façade of Ning Yeung Wui Kuan (宁阳会馆), an assembly hall and ancestral temple for Cantonese immigrants from Taishan or Toi San county (台山) in Guangdong province, at the corner of South Bridge Road and Hokien Street. The clan association was established by Mr. Tsao Ah Chee or Tsao Ah Chih (曹亚志) in 1822. It was also known as "Ning Yeung Guan" (宁阳馆), "Ning Yeung Clan Association" or "Ning Yeung Kongsi" (宁阳公司). The building was demolished in 1962 and replaced by a five-storey building. The clan association was relocated to Ann Siang Road in 1995 and later to Geylang Lorong 8 in 2005.
