Adam Park to become a Protected Heritage Site
Fantastic news !!!
News channels in Singapore reported in November 2024 that the 19 houses at Adam Park will become a protected heritage site
Announcing URA’s proposal to conserve the two sites, National Development Minister Desmond Lee said on Friday (Nov 8) that even as Singapore plans for its future, it must strive to include significant heritage in its development plans.
An important way we do so is through conserving buildings and structures of the highest significance to serve as a physical and visual link to our past,” he said at the URA Architectural Heritage Awards.
Conserved buildings are subject to certain URA guidelines. Permission is required before all alteration works and new use of the space can begin.
Mr Lee adds ,Previous small-scale investigations conducted in the estate had provided additional information on the role of the estate in relation to the war and unearthed a sizeable number of wartime artefacts, including ammunition and regimental badges.”
