This is where Marina complex is.

I was WAITING for you to post seaviews.

I like to see all the ships in the harbour, many people and writers have commented on that inspiring scene.

Oh how Singapore has changed.

*E2E experiences pangs of patriotism*

its funny to see a period where the supreme court dome was one of the tallest structures around. when was that?

like the 50s

Imagine if the supreme court were a living thing. I bet it would be feeling either very proud now of singapore's achievements or extremely pissed off at being dwarfed....

Would love to go back to that time (just for a day though :D ) and simply walk around.

Although if I ever took charge of this island, most of that area around St. Andrew's would be knocked down and returned to shop houses! :speech:

Just imagine when the next generation look back at such photos and they'll have grown up with the whole new marina downtown development.

Got to agree on those lowrises around St Andrews..I mean couldnt they have done better?! They demolished a very nice classical hotel to make way for the Adelphi :bash:

The bug corner building at the left, I heard was Singapore's first apartment!

Got a name for that apartment?

I think in Meyer Chambers or Meyer Building.

One is an office, the other is an apartment.

Seriously if only we can take a photo from the exact same location....wonder how different the whole scene is going to be!

I have been really considering doing that for some of the old photos we can find...if the location is accessible that is. Anyone interested? :D

thats a very gd idea!

You can still see the Fort Canning Lighthouse! :eek:

Thanks for the pics!

Where's CHIJ's church opposite the Church of the Good Shepard in the pic??

Thats the Armenian Church at Hill Street :)

I thought so too, but, they just resemble too much!! WOW!

Other people really should see this thread! :D

Pictures of old Singapore are great.

What do you think are the chances of it being open to the public once the building becomes an art gallery?

Dun think they'll open to public.....:no:
