Site 12 The Old Parliament House (National Monument)


A bronze elephant was located beside the Old Parliament House. The elephant was a gift from King Chulalongkorn of Siam as a token of appreciation after his stay on the 15th of March 1871.

The Old Parliament House was originally built as a residence for Scottish merchant John Argyle Maxwell. However, it was never used as a residential building. It was used as a Parliament of Singapore from 1965 to 1999.

Now, it is known as The Arts House where performances and art exhibitions are held.
