About 143 Neil Road
143 Neil Road (Singapore 088872) is a conserved pre-war terrace shophouse in postal District 2. It stands in the Neil Road row that forms the northern edge of URA's Blair Plain Conservation Area, between two well-documented neighbours at nos. 141 and 145. The building is strata-titled. Its management corporation, MCST 2319, was constituted in June 1999 and the register shows six strata lots.
Not much has been published about no. 143 itself, so the facts below are mainly about the row and the area. Blair Plain was gazetted for conservation on 25 October 1991. URA describes it as a compact cluster of two- and three-storey shophouses and terrace houses that mix Chinese, Malay and European details, with the more commercial uses along Neil Road and Kampong Bahru Road.
