Qn: What
is the history of this building?
The Fullerton Building stands on a historical site which was once home to the Fullerton Fort and a small General Post Office.
Opened in 1928, the Fullerton Building was purpose-built to be the new General Post Office. Generations of postmen worked in the building till the General Post Office moved in 1996.
Today, this grand building continues to make history as The Fullerton Hotel Singapore.
Qn: What about Fullerton
Square?
Fullerton Square , on the left of the Fullerton Building, was a popular venue for political rallies during the Singapore's General Elections until 1988. They were usually held during lunchtime to draw the office crowds who worked in the nearby commercial district. Many braved rain and shine to gather at Fullerton Square to listen to the legendary speeches of then- Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
