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

The single-story brick building with tile features stands at coordinates 1.291944 latitude and 103.847361 longitude, encompassing 101.25 square meters of space.

The original wooden structure from 1822 served as the residence for Sir Stamford Raffles before being rebuilt as Government House and later demolished in 1858.

The current structure, completed in 2003, preserves the memory of Singapore's founder while functioning as a venue for ceremonies and gatherings.

The National Parks Board manages the facility, which contains one room and remains open for event bookings and wedding celebrations throughout the year.

The building occupies the exact location where architect George Drumgoole Coleman designed the initial Residency House on what was formerly known as The Hill.
