Architecture
Ying Fo Fui Kun's clan house has since been rebuilt several times, but it has always remained at its original site in Telok Ayer. The clan house features inscribed stone tablets and carved boards from the nineteenth century. The clan's oldest surviving artefact is an 1846 inscribed board.
On the ground floor are meeting and administration rooms, while the upper level houses an altar dedicated to Guan Ti (关帝), the god of war. A popular deity revered by many clan associations, Guan Ti embodies the qualities of courage and loyalty — two virtues close to the hearts of the early Chinese immigrants.
The clan building has been well preserved; a 1997 renovation restored the intricate beam carvings to their original splendour.
The Ying Fo Fui Kun clan house was gazetted as a national monument on 18 December 1998.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“Art is a jealous mistress, and, if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
