Comments

  • I am documenting here the Empress Place Building, which today houses the 2nd wing of the Asian Civilisations Museum. The Empress Place Building was originally intended to be a courthouse, but was instead used as government offices (and was so called, Government Offices). It was constructed between 1864 and 1920, in four phases. The original section, which is closest to the Old Parliament House, was designed by J.F.A. McNair using convict labour, between 1864 and 1867. For photo and additional details, go to: http://www.asiaexplorers.com/singapore/empressplace.htm Tim www.asiaexplorers.com
