Tyersall Park, Royal palace grounds in Tanglin, Singapore
The Istana Tyersall occupied 24.4 hectares and featured Corinthian architecture with a 70-foot height, measuring 210 feet long by 174 feet deep.
Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor established his residence at Tyersall in 1862, leading to the construction of a grand palace completed in 1892.
The palace hosted significant diplomatic events, including a reception for Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and recognition ceremonies from the Chinese Emperor.
The palace grounds remained restricted from public access after its demolition in 1935 and subsequent transformation into military facilities.
Istana Tyersall marked a technological milestone as the first building in Singapore equipped with electrical lighting systems during the 19th century.
