120 Armenian Street is a shophouse build in the 1870's that has witnessed surprising events that shape world history.While it may appear stark compareed to the ornate architecture of the clan temples down the street, it is a house that is worth documenting. While it looks like a typical George Town shophouse, the things that happened in it is anything but typical.(Let's visit the house for more..........)
