I think these are the same huts as on the 1974 photo, to be seen at the hut with the wooden pillars (support). Many of them seem more or less unchanged, only the trees are a bit taller.

A view from Tiger Balm Garden

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1974

This is a view of the hillside near Tiger Balm Garden, in June,1974, from a set of slides I acquired recently. I can remember looking at these houses clinging to the steep slope back when I was there in 1972, and this photo reminded me of that. I would imagine these places are all long gone now,along with most of TBG.
