Murray Terrace, Singapore (1 August 2017)
Murray Terrace (GPS: 1.27951, 103.84443) is a historic building in the
Chinatown subzone of
Outram, Singapore. Today it is hemmed in between Maxwell House and the Fairfield Methodist Church, off
Maxwell Road. Built in 1929, Murray Terrace shows elements of the Art Deco and Art & Craft styles. It took its name after the now defunct Murray Street, which was named after Colonel A. Murray, the colonial engineer and surveyor for the British government of the Straits Settlements.
As with many of the old buildings in Singapore, Murray Terrace has undergone restoration, which unfortunately has erased its name from the façade. The refurbishment was completed in 2009 and the building is now occupied by tenants from the media and creative industry.
