Old Hill Street Police Station

179369, 140 Hill Street, Singapore

Introduction

The Old Hill Street Police Station was built in 1934 and served as both a police station and barracks. At the time, it was the largest government building and was considered a modern skyscraper. In 1998, it was declared a national monument and became the office location for the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (now the Ministry of Communications and Information). Since 2000, the building has been renamed the Old Hill Street Police Station and houses the Department of Culture, Community, and Youth. Prior to this, it was a public hall that was used as a theater and school. The entire building has 927 vibrant and mesmerizing rainbow-like windows, with the first four floors having the same intensity of colors, showcasing a strong sense of vitality. The colors gradually deepen on the fifth and sixth floors, highlighting the unique charm of the cantilevered terraces. These features greatly impress visitors.
