Prewar Terraced houses for residential use in Blair Road. These houses were considered as linear linked houses based on British terraced houses designs - the living spaces in the front and the top floor of the house, with the kitchen and toilets at the back. Prewar versions had inner courtyards or airwells, front yards and rear yards or both. Later developements had the front yard lengthened for a parked vehicle, otherwise it was a small garden.
As many of these houses have been adapted for commercial usage, they were loosely termed Prewar shophouses in certain areas. Prewar shophouses had the ground floor for business activities whereas the upper floors were residential and/or offices; should there be three floors.
