About Hong Hock Building
Hong Hock Building is a small mixed-use building at 27 Hamilton Road, Singapore 209196, in District 8 (Little India, Farrer Park). The directory classes it as a shophouse with apartments, meaning shops at street level and homes above. OneMap confirms the address and postal code but does not record the building name, so the name appears to be used locally and in strata records rather than on the national map. It is managed by MCST Plan No. 1380.
Interesting facts
