White House Road is a minor road in Tanglin, Singapore. Located in Postal District 10, it connects Stevens Road to Dalvey Road. The road has a total length of about 630 metres. Branching out from it is White House Park.

According to Singapore Street Names1, White House Road once passed through a large nutmeg and betel nut plantation called White House Park which was owned by one Gilbert Angus (1815-1887). The namesake, Whitehouse, was built by Angus in 1862.

Originally, White House Road was part of White House Park. It was renamed to White House Road in 1955. It is today a leafy neighbourhood with landed residential properties.

About this website



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.
