EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Municipal Building, now known as City Hall, in Singapore during the late 1950s. Designed by the architectural team of A. Gordans and F. D. Meadows and completed in 1929, this historic structure served as the hub of administrative activities in the bustling city-state. The Municipal Building, as it was then named, was a symbol of British colonial rule and progress in Singapore. Its imposing neoclassical facade, with its grand columns and intricate detailing, reflected the grandeur and sophistication of the era. The building's central dome, crowned with a golden finial, dominated the city skyline and served as a beacon of civic pride. This postcard, dating from the late 1950s, attests to the building's continued use as the municipal headquarters even after Singapore was granted city status by King George VI in 1951. The name "Municipal Building" lingered on for several more years before being replaced by "City Hall," a title it bears to this day. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of colonial grandeur and civic pride. The Municipal Building, now a National Monument of Singapore, stands as a testament to the city-state's rich history and architectural heritage.
