One Last Post From Singapore – The Waterboat House

A last post from Singapore, and then it’s back to China again next week promise. But, like the Fullerton Bay Hotel I noted the other day, the Waterboat House is another new edition to decent heritage in Singapore. Though I’ve stayed at the nearby Fullerton Hotel (which seems to manage the Waterboat House) I’d never noticed the building before. And it is a building you should notice, previously occupied by the Port of Singapore Authority to sell fresh water to ships anchored in the habour it’s now the usual upmarket restaurant and that, but who cares, it looks good.The original building was a very modern 1919 structure designed by the legendary, and multi-generational, Singapore architects of Swan and Maclaren who’s roster of projects across several generations of the firm include Raffles, the Goodwood Park Hotel (then the Teutonia Club), plenty of churches, department stores and other structures across Singapore.
