The Fullerton Hotel Singapore
The building of the colonial period seems to embody the former greatness and spirit of the British Empire. Built in a neo-classical style, with Doric columns supporting a massive basement and a high portico in front of the main entrance, the building was the symbol of the entire Western civilization in Singapore - the "gateway of Asia". The building and the hotel are called "Fullerton" by Robert Fullerton, the first governor of the Straits Settlement. Singapore was the capital of British possessions in Southeast Asia and the governor required a residence corresponding to its status.
