Raffles House, Historical building on Fort Canning Hill, Singapore.

Raffles House is a single-story brick building with tile roof details located on Fort Canning Hill in Singapore. The structure contains one room and is managed by the National Parks Board.

The original wooden structure dated to 1822 and initially served as a residence before being converted to Government House. After its demolition in 1858, the current building was reconstructed.

The building is named after Singapore's founder and serves as a space for weddings and private gatherings today. Visitors experience personal moments in a venue that honors this historical connection.

The building is available for event and wedding bookings year-round. Plan your visit to the hilltop, where several historical sites are located in close proximity.

The building occupies the exact location where architect George Drumgoole Coleman designed the original residence. This historically significant spot makes it a place of special interest for those curious about the city's early design.
