Old Parliament House – Oldest Government Building
The first house of parliament in Singapore was the Old Parliament House, which served from 1965 to 1999. It was a neoclassical building that had been in use since the 1950s and was especially prominent after self-government was achieved in 1959. The Old Parliament House was later repurposed as The Arts House, a multidisciplinary arts and heritage venue. The new Parliament House, designed to accommodate the growing number of members, was completed in 1999 and replaced the Old Parliament House.
