In the early 20th century this neighbourhood was known in Hokkien as kim jio kar, meaning the foot of the banana tree, and was covered with vegetable farms. The farms were later cleared for rows of shophouses.
A short walk away, Petain Road has a row of 18 two-storey terrace houses from the early 1930s. They are known for their Chinese Baroque style and glazed ceramic tiles, and have been part of the Jalan Besar Conservation Area since 1991.
