Lui Seng Chun was designed and built by architect W.H. Bourne and completed in 1931. Now listed as a heritage site, the building is a good example of a tong lau, or Chinese shophouse, with features typical of the verandah-style of construction common before the Second World War. Typical of all tong laus at the time, the ground floor of the four-storey building was used for retail while the upper floors were used as dwellings.
