Located along Tanjong Katong Road, the area was given conservation status on 29 November 2004. It contains a two-storey Neo-Classical Style
bungalow built in the 1930s. It plays a distinctive role in preserving the social memory of Tanjong Katong and strengthens the sense of
identity that takes in a wider Tanjong Katong area.
Yock Eng High School was founded in 1910 by the Hainanese community as a Chinese medium school. Originally, the school was located at Prinsep Street. However, as the enrollment of the school expanded, a larger school building along Tanjong Katong Road was built in the early 1940s. This two-storey building is designed in the Modern style with some Art Deco influences, and a key feature of the building is its distinctive octogonal clock tower which serves as a landmark in the area. The building was given conservation status on 8 April 2005.
Located along Tanjong Katong Road, Our Lady Queen of Peace Roman Catholic Church was given conservation status on 8 April 2005. Two buildings have been conserved - the Main Church Building, which was completed in 1953, as well as the 2-storey Parish Hall, which was added in 1963. Both buildings are sensitively designed in the Modern style, and are good examples of the architecture of the period.
