Luxury Black and White Bungalows at Adam Park

Road to Adam Park Estate

Adam Park is one site where a series of war events unfolded. If you have a nice house that can't save everything then you've to think how to protect these structures and its heritage.
In the morning on 04th Nov, we took a cab instead of bus or station as it's just a short distance from my place about 10 mins. We arrived at 7 Adam Park before 9.45am and it's still early. As it could be the last series of 8th tours which was started on July 2017 conducted by Jerome Lim, supported by SLA.

We roamed around the house and took some shots of the building and some quickie selfie shots with them.

7 Adam Park Bungalow

Upon reaching at 7 Adam Park Colonial house (NUSS Guild House), does it look familiar I recall that the house was once occupied by 7Adam - a chic and stylish restaurant-gallery in 2012. 

Selfie Before the Tour

The Adam Park Estate was an exclusive expat residential area with 19 huge colonial black-and-white houses, tucked away in the jungle and plantations of Singapore. Cocktails were sipped and long hours were whiled away at the country club playing golf in the years before the WWII. The estate was the site of an intense three days of fighting in the battle for Singapore. The men of the 1st Battalion Cambridgeshire Regiment held off a series of attacks by the troops of the Japanese 41st (Fukuyama) Regiment but the island collapsed to the Japanese.
The Allied soldiers were sent to Changi Prison and the estate was turned into a prisoner of war (POW) camp, with Japanese soldiers using the homes as a base.
The Colonial bungalow at 7 Adam Park that was used to house with Art Gallery, restaurant and workshops (for family and kids) in 2012 till early 2014. I remember that my friends once told me about Art Gallery and restaurant at Adam Park years ago. I did visited once in 2013 with two of my old friends for a meal at the park. 

No 13 Adam Park (2014)

In Jun 2014, I looked up 'The Adam Park Project (TAPP2)', is a ground breaking battlefield archaeology project managed by Jon Cooper, looking into the wartime heritage of the Adam Park housing estate in Singapore and joined them as volunteer digger to dig up the soil looking for relic items at No. 13 Adam Park. My interest is to look in its heritage of the building and its rich history of the battlefield as well as wars relic objects. 

Me Holding A Cap Badge@13 AdamPark

At the last moment, I unearthed a cap badge from Royal Corps of Signals at No 13 Adam Park in Jun 2014 as if God sent me down to look for it. That was 3 years ago!
