In 1860, a 210-acre site in Tanglin, comprising mostly nutmeg plantations, was purchased by the former government, with the intention
of providing housing for military troops on the island. The construction
of large, airy, single-storey colonial buildings with large pillars
and high ceilings, were scattered across the expanse of this plot of
land.
These decommissioned buildings previously housed The Medical Classification
Centre, Officers' Personnel Centre, Naval Training Department, SAF Careers
Centre and the Central Manpower Base of the Singapore Armed Forces.
