Straits Times: No. 23 Wasn't 'Cashin Mansion'

This letter was published in the Straits Times Forum today:

"TO DISPEL any misinformation, may I, as a former resident who lived in Amber Road, point out that 23 Amber Road was never known as Cashin Mansion, although it was given by Mr A. W. Cashin to his brother-in-law, Mr D. Kitowitz.

The only residence there dubbed with a name was Mandalay Villa at No. 29 Amber Road.

The other surviving original buildings in the locality are No. 40 Amber Road and, as far as I know, the Elias mansion, which now forms part of the Sea View Hotel complex.
