Englishman MATTHEW ELTON yearned for
something with more space and character
than his small condo in Orchard Boulevard
– but it had to fit the budget. Here’s the story
of how a lot of vision, heaps of creativity and
a bit of cheek got him 6,000 square feet of
Chinatown history, not to mention a new job
as Expat Auctions’ full-time auctioneer.
