About 36 Hamilton Road
36 Hamilton Road is a strata-titled shophouse at 36 Hamilton Road, Singapore 209206, in District 8 (Little India, Farrer Park). OneMap has no building name for it and instead labels the address as part of the Petain Road/Tyrwhitt Road Conservation Area, so the shophouse lies inside conservation boundaries. The management corporation is MCST Plan No. 2749. It is on the even-numbered side of this short street between Lavender Street and Horne Road.
Interesting facts
The conservation label ties Hamilton Road to the celebrated terrace houses of nearby Petain Road and to the Art Deco shophouses of upper Tyrwhitt Road.
Hamilton Road may be named after the British general who commanded at Gallipoli, although an older explanation connects it to a 19th-century merchant firm. Sources do not agree.
Several of the old shophouses on Hamilton Road now hold cafes and small food businesses.

Bendemeer station (Downtown Line) and Lavender station (East West Line) are the closest MRT stops, and Boon Keng station on the North East Line is an option to the north. Jalan Besar Stadium and its neighbouring swimming complex are a short walk away.
