Did you know that the Novena Church’s actual name is the Church of St Alphonsus? Since then, it’s become more popularly known as the Novena Church. The word “Novena” derives from "nine" in Latin, referring to the Catholic Church's nine days or weeks of devotion. After being gazetted for conservation in 2011, the historic building was closed for substantial restoration work before reopening in 2017. The architecture of the structure is influenced by the Bible scriptures of King Solomon's temple, with a Gothic-inspired look that reflects the religion's early years. This historic landmark along Thomson Road remains a local landmark and community touchstone for all. Swipe through to view more about its architectural details, and blessed Good Friday to all! 🧡 #texturesofthecity

Jurong Town Hall is a building that retained the zeitgeist of Singapore’s industrialisation and transformation. Constructed in 1974, this iconic building served as the headquarters of JTC until 2000, housing many visionary minds that worked to improve the lives of Singaporeans throughout our nation-building. The winner of the 2018 Architectural Heritage Award has since been gazetted as a national monument and refurbished as a key landmark in Jurong – currently serving as a hub for trade associations. The building’s nautical elements are thought to be inspired by vessels at the Jurong Shipyard Corporation, giving the building the appearance of a ship’s hull with the clock tower as its mast.

What does the neighbourhood of Bukit Pasoh have in common with pottery? The area was once known for the trade of distinct earthenware pots, popular with the households living around the area, thus the name Bukit Pasoh was born. Today, Bukit Pasoh is a modern mixed-use area that retains key elements of its past. If you walk along Neil Road, Bukit Pasoh Road, and Keong Saik Road, you’ll be able to spot many conserved clan associations, restaurants and bars that integrate their original shophouse exteriors with modern and chic interiors.
