It wasn't built till around 92-93. It was just 2 shophouses before that.StroppyChops wrote: ↑Sun Jul 15, 2018 1:39 pm
At least some part of the complex is pre-KR as it took artillery shelling from the far bank of the river, as the journalists decamped to the Raffles IIRC.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Then I don't recall correctly! You confident that includes the disused building at the back (on the museum side)?John Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 12:45 pmIt wasn't built till around 92-93. It was just 2 shophouses before that.StroppyChops wrote: ↑Sun Jul 15, 2018 1:39 pm

It's a conversion from 2 older existing shophouses, that could have been built anytime between the 1920s -1960s. I just meant it wasn't the FCC till 1993 or so. The building behind is a bit older, it could date to the 1880s, but it was only bought by the FCC about 10 years ago. I think it was previously owned by Norodom Rannaridh.

Ah, yep, okay, crossed wires. Wasn't called the FCC during the KR period.John Bingham wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 6:24 pm It's a conversion from 2 older existing shophouses, that could have been built anytime between the 1920s -1960s.
