141 Neil Road is a townhouse located along Neil Road in the Blair Plain district of Bukit Merah, Singapore. Near Singapore's Chinatown, 141 Neil Road was built in the early 1880s, with its first owner being Chinese banker Lim Yew Teok. In 1991, it was gazetted for conservation, and its last occupant died in 2006. It was subsequently put up for sale by Knight Frank in 2019 and purchased by the Portabella family in 2020. The Portabella family donated 141 Neil Road to the National University of Singapore (NUS) for research purposes relating to the conservation and maintenance of townhouses and shophouses. Since 2023, NUS has been undertaking the restoration of 141, along with research into the maintenance of heritage sites such as 141. This is expected to be completed by 2027. The architecture and appearance of 141 Neil Road is that of typical townhouses and shophouses built in Singapore's First Transitional style. To facilitate the restoration works on the building, NUS set up the Architectural Conservation Laboratory (ArClab) to help conduct research on 141's temperature, meteorological statistics, and the incorporation of green technology.
