Chee Guan Chiang House, also known as the Wellington House, is an abandoned bungalow on Grange Road in River Valley, Singapore. Built in 1938 for Chee Guan Chiang, the son of Chee Swee Cheng, it served as a guest house for several years before it was left vacant.
According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, the bungalow, which was designed in the Art Deco style, is "an excellent example of the 1930s Modern style in reinforced concrete - straightforward in character and pleasantly proportioned." It was built with a "stylish, streamlined aesthetic." The authority further states that the building is "noted for its generous and dramatically curved plan and walls", which are "juxtaposed" by both its roof, which is flat and made of concrete, as well as an additional service block at the back of the bungalow, which is "orthogonal" in shape.
