Perspective
The constituency was formed from parts of City Constituency and Rochore Constituency. It covered parts of the historical City of Singapore and surrounding areas, including Stamford Road, Hill Street and portions of Bras Basah and Waterloo Street. The constituency was represented in the Legislative Assembly and later in Parliament following Singapore's independence in 1965. In 1976, the constituency was abolished as part of a wider electoral boundary review. Its electorate was divided, with roughly half absorbed back into Rochore Constituency and the remainder split between River Valley Constituency and Telok Ayer Constituency.
Several notable buildings and institutions were located within the boundaries of this constituency.[1] These included the Old National Library Building at Stamford Road, which operated from 1960 until its closure in 2004, and the Stamford Arts Centre on Waterloo Street, which had functioned as a school before being repurposed for cultural use.[1] The constituency also contained Stamford House, a commercial building constructed in 1904, and the former MPH Building, later known as the Vanguard Building, both of which are examples of early twentieth century architecture in Singapore. The area formed part of the historical civic and institutional core of the city and was characterised by a mixture of educational, religious and government facilities.[1]
