City Hall in Singapore
The City Hall in Singapore is a national monument gazetted in 1992. Located in front of the historical Padang and next door to the Supreme Court of Singapore, it was designed and built by the architects of the municipal government from 1926 to 1929. A flight of stairs takes visitors from the Corinthian colonnade to the main building. It was first known as Municipal Building until 1951 when Singapore was granted city status by King George VI.
The building was built on two house built in the 1830s. During the World War II, when the Japanese occupied Singapore, they managed the civic issues from the Municipal Building but political affairs were already being conducted in the building. In 1951, it was renamed to its present name as it was to mark Singapore as a city, after being granted city status.
Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew read out the Malaysia Proclamation at the City Hall in 1963, and declared Singapore no longer part of the British. The people celebrated the first Malaysia Day at the Padang which is outside the City Hall. The first National Day Parade was held there in 1966 and subsequent years. The steps of the City Hall is use as a VIP seating area at National Day Parades held there.
In 1987, the building underwent a massive upgrade to allow the building to house governmental offices. The building was used for many government events over the years, it was used as a venue for the Singapore Biennale, and also for the IMF and World Bank Meetings when it was held in Singapore as a registration centre.
The City Hall, together with the adjacent Old Supreme Court Building, will be converted into the National Art Gallery of Singapore by 2015.

SINGAPORE'S AMAZING HISTORIC BUILDINGS
This year it's Singapore's bicentennial. 200 years since Sir Stamford Raffles, landed here and founded modern Singapore. And while this modern city may be more associated cutting edge architecture, the city does have a number of important buildings, dating right back to colonial times.
Choosing just 10 or so historic Singapore buildings is difficult, and of course there are many omissions. But here is my selection of the best heritage architecture from Singapore -
Old Parliament House
Empress Place
Victoria Theatre
National Gallery
Fullerton
St Andrews Cathedral
Thian Hock Keng
Shophouses
Peranakan Architecture
Old Police Station
Armenian Church
Old Parliament House
First on the list of historic buildings is Old Parlimant House. Built in 1827, and located in the Civic area, next to the Singapore River, this is the oldest government building and perhaps the oldest surviving building in Singapore.
Fullerton Hotel
Perhaps Singapore’s most famous building, The Fullerton was named after Robert Fullerton, the first Governor of the Straits Settlements [3]
Designed and used as the General Post Office, the building has also served as a military hospital in the Second World War, but today this impressive building is home to the Fullerton hotel
Empress Place Building
Located on the north bank of the river in the Civic Area. Constructed in four phases from 1864 to 1920, these were originally Government Offices
The original section of the building was designed by colonial engineer John McNair in a neo-Palladian style
Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall
The Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, again in the Civic Area, just next to Empress Place.
It first began life as the Town Hall in 1862. Later in the early 1900s a second public hall was built next to it and joined by a clock tower to form one larger building.
It underwent a major four year long re-refurbishment in 2010 wand it now looks immaculate, with a newly modernised theatre and conert hall
National Gallery Singapore
Another structure that began life as two separate buildings is the new National Gallery
The first building, the old Supreme Court was designed by Frank Dorrington Ward, in a style that exemplifies British colonial architecture, and opened in 1939
The City Hall building was completed in 1929 in a neo classical style. It has witnessed important moments in Singapore’s history, including the formal Japanese surrender of Singapore back to the British in 1945
Both buildings are now joined together by a large central atrium
St Andrews Cathedral
Is the country's largest cathedral. Located near City Hall, this Cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Singapore was named Saint Andrew after the patron saint of Scotland in honour of the Scottish community who donated to the building fund.[5]
A church existed on the site since 1836, the current church however was built in 1856–1861.
church
Old Hill Street Police Station
The Old Hill Police Station was built in Neo-Classical style and designed F. Dorrington Ward.
As well the usual facilities for a police station, there were living quarters for policemen and their families.
Completed in 1934, it was the largest pre-war government building in Singapore. It has a total of 927 windows with colourful shutters.
It now serves as offices for several government departments
Singaporean Shophouses
The Singapore shop house is a quintessential architectural icon
The origins of the Singapore shop house, trace back to China, where a majority of early immigrants came from.The first shop houses, were constructed during the mid-1840s and there are some well preserved examples here in Everton Road
Baba House
One distinct shop house style is the Peranakan shophouse, and there are some great examples in Joo Chiat.
Peranakan refers to the descendants of the Chinese who originally settled in Malaysia and Singapore
Baba House, built in the 1890s in Neil Road, is a beautifully restored Peranakan house and showcases Peranakan history, architecture and heritage.
For more on the Peranakan culture, visit the Peranakan Museum, itself housed in a historic building in Armenia Street
Thian Hock Keng
Thian Hock Keng (literally Palace of Heavenly Happiness), is a temple built for seafarers to give thanks to the chinese sea goddess Mazu for a safe sea passage on their arrival to Singapore. Completed in 1842
Telok Ayer where the temple is situated, marked the coastline before land reclamation.
Armenian Church
Finally, This church was commissioned by the first twelve Armenian families that settled in Singapore.[3] It was designed by George Coleman, the architect of many of Singapore's early buildings. One of the country=’s earliest surviving churches, It was opened in 1836

Transforming City Hall
‘ADAPT’ – a multi-skilled collection of Bristol area-based specialist workplace consultants and designers, architects and engineers founded by PLACEmaking and Alec French Architects in 2013 specifically to undertake Bristol City Council’s ‘Bristol Workplace Programme (BWP)’ - was commissioned and successfully delivered its ambitious three year programme of change.
By enabling the council staff and partners to work in more efficient and effective ways, the programme reduced the council’s office estate from 38 buildings to two, including the recently refurbished Grade II* listed City Hall and more modern 100 Temple Street buildings. The 3-year programme was delivered within budget and has delivered savings of £72 million.
PLACEmaking led on the transformation of the working environments, the interior architectural design and the cultural change management. Alec French Architects led on the planning, building works and infrastructure upgrades with specialist input from ARUP, Gardiner & Theobald and Bath based conservation specialists Donald Insall Associates.

City Hall Info:
The City Hall (Malay: Dewan Bandaraya; Chinese: 政府大厦; Tamil: நகர மண்டபம்) in Singapore is a national monument gazetted on 14 February 1992. It can be found in front of the historical Padang and adjacent to the Supreme Court of Singapore, it was designed and built by the architects of the Singapore Municipal Commission, A. Gordans and F. D. Meadows from 1926 to 1929. A flight of stairs takes visitors from the Corinthian colonnade to the main building. The building was constructed to replace several houses designed by architect G.D. Coleman. It was first known as Municipal Building until 1951 when Singapore was granted city status by King George VI
Tanjong Pagar Singapore Info:
Tanjong Pagar (Jawi: تنجوڠ ڤاڬر) in Malay means cape of stakes, a name which reflects its origins as a fishing village situated on a former promontory. It has been surmised that the name was inspired by the presence of kelongs (offshore palisade fishing traps constructed using wooden stakes and cross pieces) set up along the stretch of coast from the village of Tanjong Malang to what is now Tanjong Pagar. It is possibly a corruption of the earlier name Tanjong Passar, a road which led from South Bridge Road to the fishing village and which appeared in George Drumgoole Coleman's 1836 Map of the Town.
A far more picturesque account of the naming of this part of the coast emerges from the realm of local legend. According to the Malay Annals, there was a time when the villages along the coast of Singapore suffered from vicious attacks from shoals of swordfish. On the advice of a particularly astute boy named Hang Nadim, the Sri Maharajah built a barricade of banana stems along the coast, which successfully trapped the attacking fish by their snouts as they leaped from the waters.
The original name for Tanjong Pagar is also said to be Salinter, a fishing village. When the Tanjong Pagar Dock Company (1864) was formed due to the growth of shipping activities in the 1850s, wharves were built. Tanjong is cape and Pagar means fence or enclosed space, i.e. wharf where ships are moored. Tanjong Pagar probably refers to the location of PSA Gate 3 near Victoria Dock. Around Tanjong Pagar were mangrove swamps which were filled in with earth from Mount Palmer and other nearby small hills for extension of the wharves up to Telok Blangah.

Walking City Hall Street
The City Hall has been declared as one of the national monuments of Singapore. The building was completed in 1929 and was originally known as Municipal Building. It became the Singapore Judiciary in 1987. The historic building has witnessed and staged some of the most significant events in the history of Singapore. The British accepted the surrender of the Japanese army at the City Hall on 12 September 1945 which formally ended the Japan’s occupation of Singapore. It was here that Lee Kuan Yew, as Prime Minister, proclaimed self-government for Singapore on 5 June 1959. The merger with Malaysia on 16 September 1963 was announced here. When Singapore separated from Malaysia, the first fully-independent Singapore Government was sworn in at City Hall on 9 August 1965. Right now the City Hall is closed and will reopen in 2015 when it will be merged with former Supreme Court Building to form a gallery to house Singapore’s national art collection.
