In 1927, the Colonial Secretary of the Straits Settlements wrote to the Chairman of the Singapore Improvement Trust, requesting the use of the site for the construction of the building which eventually began in 1931. The Old Hill Street Police Station – originally known as Hill Street Police Station and Barracks was specially built to provide accommodation for a large number of police personnel who could be called upon immediately in an emergency. It was completed in 1934.
