Heritage Building

The Old Parliament House is the oldest government building and perhaps the oldest surviving one in Singapore and was built-in 1827. In 1999 the flag of Singapore was lowered for the last time at the Old Parliament House before the ceremonial walk over was conducted from the old building to the new one led by the Speaker of Parliament, Prime Minister and the entourage of Member of Parliament.

The Arts House was open in 2004 at the Old Parliament House and was restored and the interior was preserved and the Chambers were converted into a function room where music performance could be held together with Arts Exhibitions and other functions and also regularly held at the gallery which had Tuscan Style Column and Cornices.
