ATTAP HUT ALONG BEACH AT TANJONG KATONG.
View of beach hut at Tanjong Katong, east coast of Singapore. In the background are outhouses built on piles over the water, a common feature of seaside houses. Outhouses varied from simple open pavilions to fully furnished chalets used for picnics and parties. Many of these were demolished during World War II and remaining ones all but disappeared when coastal land was reclaimed in the 1970s.
