redstone SG Tyersall House, at Tyersall Avenue, beside Botanic Gardens. Was the palace of Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor. The biggest private personal residential property here, I think... The biggest is Istana.
PaJeRoMiNi Ver 1.0 SG It's sad how these buildings are slowly torn down over time.. Hillview Mansion, Tyersall Mansion.. What's the next casualty?
DeathScyth SG embassy de' france maybe? http://explorers.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=150423 since it's quite near to Tyersall... I doubt this place will crumble also.
krisgage SG Hi Wow , i did not there is such a place in Singapore. By the way , is it still there ? Anyway to get a glimps of the place ? Thanks. Krisgage
redstone SG Along Holland Road, near a road called Taman Nakhoda. Beside a construction site, you can see a container shack with a very low metal bar across a road leading into the forests. Take that route. Walk straight. Until you see this: Turn right, walk thru the plants (very low, don't worry). Walk across the grounds, straight. You would see a curved path up a small hill. Follow that and you'll reach Istana Tyersall! OR From Tyersall Avenue, the Istana's gates. Walk along the road, till you see this: Turn left. Follow the path up the hill and you'll reach it!
