Interesting facts
The building lies on the edge of the Kampong Glam conservation area, which URA gazetted on 7 July 1989. The area is bounded by Ophir Road, Victoria Street, Jalan Sultan and Beach Road.
According to URA, this part of Beach Road was once a shipping hub for Bugis traders, whose boats called at the nearby shore before reclamation pushed the coast outwards.
Kampong Glam takes its name from the gelam tree, a Melaleuca species, and was set aside in the 1822 town plan for the Sultan and the Malay and Arab communities.
