The location in Singapore in the heart of the financial and arts districts

The reason why it was located here  It was built at the riverside as a fort to defend Singapore from naval attacks  Currently located in the heart of the arts and financial districts

The people who built it  Built in 1928  Named after Robert Fullerton, the first governor of the straits settlements

This was/is used for  Fullerton Hotel used to be a post office  Intended for more office space  Built in 1829 as a fort for defending Singapore  Singapore’s exchange building (1874)  Fullerton Building (1928)  Makeshift operating room for wounded British soldiers in 1942  A refuge for Governor Sir Shenton Thomas and Lady Thomas

The impact on Singapore This site impacted Singapore greatly by becoming a fort against naval attackers, a post office sending information around the world, one of Singapore’s greatest 5-star hotel and a Historic World Heritage hotel.

How the site has changed This site has been a military administration, a fort, and a post office always changing at every moment, but the spirit of Fullerton resided in every one of these transformations.

What I learned Something interesting I learned while researching this site was that the tunnel under Fullerton Rd was used for transporting mail onto ships waiting in the harbor
