Although Haw Par Mansion was built for the family of Aw Boon Haw, its name includes that of his brother, Aw Boon Par - co-founder of the Tiger Balm empire. The house is one of the few surviving remnants of the architectural style known as Chinese Eclectic, and was designated a World Heritage site in 2009.
