| Description |
The Old Hill Street Police Station was built in 1934 to house the Hill Street Police Station and Barracks. At the time of its completion in 1934, the building was the largest government building and was regarded as a modern skyscraper. It was gazetted as a national monument in 1998 and given a new lease of life as the office premises for the then-Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA). In 2000, the building was renamed MICA Building and in 2012, renamed as the Old Hill Street Police Station, after MICA became the Ministry of Communications and Information. The Old Hill Street Police Station also houses the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth. Before the construction of the Old Hill Street Police Station, the Assembly Rooms - a space for public functions and a building that housed a theatre and a school - occupied this site from 1845 to 1856. The building has a total of 927 windows and they are painted in the colours of the rainbow. Passersby will notice that the windows on the first four storeys have the same vibrant intensity while the colours for the fifth- and sixth-storeys gradually intensify to accentuate the cantilevered balconies which are interesting architectural features of this historical building. |
