Former Field Assistant's House
About
Completed in 1919, this building's original purpose became redundant with the replacement of most of the Economic Gardens with Raffles College, after which the Field Assistant position it was built to support was phased out.
The Building
The building is a two-storey, five-bay house with a hipped tiled roof and rendered finish. Plaster string courses run beneath and above the windows, extending into shade canopies over them. At the centre is a porch with half-round arches to the side and front. The windows on the front and side elevations are side-hung casements, and the front door, reached by five steps, is a modern replacement with a narrow window to either side. On the rear elevation, the central staircase tower projects outward.
