Ee Hoe Hean Club (GPS: 1.27947, 103.84043) is a Chinese millionaires' club in Singapore. It occupies an ornate 3-storey building at Bukit Pasoh Road, in the Chinatown subzone of Outram planning area.
Ee Hoe Hean Club traces its founding to 1895. Its founders were Lim Nee Soon, Gan Eng Seng and Lim Boon Keng. It was the meeting place of the wealth-to-do in turn of the century Singapore. The founders and club members were mostly those who made it big in the Nanyang, and held the Qing Dynasty government of China in contempt. For that reason, they actively supported the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, which led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, ushering in the founding of the Republic of China.
Originally located at Duxton Hill, Ee Hoe Hean Club moved to its present site at Bukit Pasoh Road in 1925. The clubhouse was rebuilt in 2006 at a cost of S$2.5million and officially opened on 9 November 2008 by the Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam. It continues to display its original construction year of 1927.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
