Context:
Boat Quay Conservation Area primarily encompasses South Bridge Road.
In addition to South Bridge Road, Boat Quay Area includes several smaller roads and lanes contributing to its charming atmosphere. Some of these smaller roads are:
- Circular Road
- North Canal Road
- Lor Telok
- Elgin Road
- Raffles Quay
- Collyer Quay
- Fullerton Road
These roads are part of the Boat Quay Conservation Area and are lined with historic shophouses and modern establishments.
Boat Quay Conservation shophouses are a significant part of Singapore's heritage. These shophouses were gazetted for conservation on July 7, 1989, to preserve their historical and architectural value.
The shophouses at Boat Quay date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting Singapore's colonial past and its role as a major trading port.
Architectural styles vary from Early Shophouse, Art Deco, and Streamline Moderne. They feature intricate facades, ornamental plasterwork, and unique design elements.
Conservation efforts have implemented strict conservation guidelines to maintain these buildings' original essence and ambience. This includes preserving the entire building envelope, including rear courts and service blocks.
Many of these shophouses have been restored and now house a mix of commercial and residential spaces, including restaurants, bars, cafes, offices, and hostels.
