new use for bukit timah fire station



the bukit timah fire station, built in 1956, is due to be converted into a cafe and restaurant with alfresco dining. the fire station and the living quarters have been vacant since its move to bukit batok road. chun see's blog mentioned this station in september last year.

in singapore, quite a number of disused buildings have been turned over to private schools. the global indian international schools occupy at least three former school buildings, one in moulmein, one along tanjong katong and one in queenstown. the chinese international school, which initially used the name 'united chinese international school', occupies the former swiss cottage schools.

this may be the first state building that is going to be re-used as a food outlet.

one place fewer for fugitives to hide.
