Before the internet and HDB Hub, where did Singaporeans apply for their first HDB flats?

Did you know?

The Princess House was intended to be a multi-purpose building for office and community facilities to serve Singapore’s first planned new town (Queenstown), it was eventually designated as the new office of the Singapore Improvement Trust.

After Singapore gained self-governance, the Housing Development Board (HDB) was established and Princess House subsequently became the first dedicated HDB headquarters in 1960. It was here where renewal plans were drawn up and displayed, awards given to community groups and, notably, the place where Singaporeans applied for their first HDB flats.
