Oldest Colonial Building
The Old Parliament House was once known as the Old Court House. It was originally designed as a house for John Argyll Maxwell, a merchant and one of first three magistrates whom Stamford Raffles appointed. It was designed by George Coleman. As soon as it was completed in 1827, it was leased to the government by Maxwell and was then used as a courthouse and for government offices. Parliament meetings were held in the building until the new Parliament House was built nearby. It is now refurbished as The Arts House.
最老的殖民地建筑物
旧国会大厦曾经叫做旧法院大厦。最初是商人麦士威建作自己的住宅。麦士威也是莱佛士任命的最早的三名殖民地文官之一。该建筑由哥里门设计。当大厦在1827年完工时，却发现这块租给麦士威的地已被分配给法院和政府办公地点。至到隔邻的新国会大厦建成，国会一直在此大厦举行。现在，该大厦已被改建成艺术之家。

Building With Most Varied Uses
The House of Tan Yeok Nee at the junction of Clemenceau Avenue and Penang Road was built in 1865 as the house of a wealthy Teochew gambier and pepper merchant, Tan Yeok Nee. It was then transformed into the house of a station master, when the railway line was laid at Clemenceau Avenue. After that, it was converted into the bishop’s residence for the Rt Rev Ferguson-Davies, Bishop of Singapore, and successively into a boarding house for Eurasian girls, called St Mary’s House and School for Girls. In 1940 the Salvation Army bought it from the Church of England and made it their headquarters. It was later occupied by the Japanese Army from 1942-1945. The Salvation Army took it back after the war. Today, it houses the Chicago Graduate School of Business. It was gazetted as a national monument in 1974.
