The northern end of the building covers the site of Fort Fullerton, a fort built in 1829 to defend the settlement against any naval attacks. The fort consisted of an Artillery Barrack, a house for the officers, barracks for soldiers and a 68-pounder gun guarding the entrance to the river which used to stand on the location known as Fullerton square. In 1843, the fort was extended after a sandstone monolith, the Singapore Stone, with an inscription possibly dating back to the 13th century was demolished. The Singapore stone was, unfortunately, destroyed by the British. A fragment of this monolith was salvaged and preserved in the collection of the National Museum at Stamford Road. However, there were several criticisms as well as apprehensions regarding the building of Fort Fullerton. Merchants thought that it was a waste to use the prime location of the city for military instead of trading purpose, which would have prevented Singapore from generating more revenue and boosting its trading business. They were also worried that they would be in the direct line of fire if there were any attacks on the fort because the offices along the Singapore River were situated within close proximity to the fort. The fort was also said to be incapable of deterring any potential attacks from the sea, and had very low efficacy. Following these criticisms, the fort was finally demolished in 1873. The fort gave way to the first General Post Office and the Exchange Building in 1874. Plans to erect Fullerton Building were drawn up in 1920. However, due to a lack of funds, construction only began in February 1924.During the initial groundwork, excavations revealed the gun casements of the old Fort Fullerton. In fact, the Fullerton Building was built over reclaimed land. Built at a cost of $4.1 million and after delays of a few months, the building was completed in June 1928.

The Fullerton Building was opened on 27 June 1928 by the Governor, Sir Hugh Clifford, who suggested the building be named after Robert Fullerton. The building had five founding tenants: the General Post Office, The Exchange, Singapore Club (now Singapore Town Club), the Marine Department, and the Import and Export Department (later the Ministry of Trade and Industry). It also housed the Chamber of Commerce, and various government departments dealing with agriculture, fisheries and forestry. One of the rooms in the Fullerton Building was where the late Finance Minister, Dr Goh Keng Swee, wrote many of his budget speeches for Singapore. The building was designed to utilize natural ventilation, thus has four internal air-wells to cool the interiors.

Fullerton Square was an important commerce area in Singapore attracting many European immigrants and soon became the core of major business activity. Many European businesses were set up at Fullerton Square together with large banks such as the Chartered Bank and Hong Kong and Shanghai Banks. The Fullerton Building was built with Grandeur, Class and being the biggest structure built in Singapore displaying the authority and power of the British Colonial rule. In addition, The Fullerton Building operated with tax payers money meant as a government building, housed the Club for the Colonial Elite which was an exclusive club that took up almost 7,000 sq m of the upper floors which further elaborated the position and authority that the British has in Singapore.

There was also a lighthouse on the Fullerton Building, called the Fullerton Light, which was used to guide the ships ashore and to anchor along the piers. It was built to replace the Fort Canning Light, which was decommissioned in 1979 since it was gradually blocked because of globalization and the construction of more high-rise buildings in Singapore. The location of the previous lighthouse is now being occupied by The Lighthouse Restaurant, to keep up with the modern style of the Fullerton Hotel.

該建築的北端覆蓋了富勒頓堡（Fort Fullerton）遺址，該堡壘建於1829年，用於保衛該定居點免受任何海軍襲擊。堡壘包括一個砲兵營房，一個軍官的房子，士兵營房和一個68磅重的槍支守衛河的入口，這條河曾經站在被稱為富勒頓廣場的地方。 1843年，這座堡壘延伸至砂岩巨石 – 新加坡石碑之後，其碑文可追溯至13世紀，並被拆除。不幸的是，新加坡的石頭被英國人摧毀了。這塊巨石的一個片段被打撈並保存在斯坦福道國家博物館的藏品中。然而，有幾個批評以及對富勒頓堡建築的擔憂。商人認為，將城市的黃金地段用於軍事而非交易目的是浪費，這將阻止新加坡創造更多收入並促進其貿易業務。如果因為新加坡河沿岸的辦公室位於堡壘附近，他們還擔心如果有任何攻擊堡壘，他們會直接射擊。據說該堡壘無法阻止任何來自海洋的潛在攻擊，並且效力非常低。在這些批評之後，堡壘最終於1873年被拆除。堡壘在1874年讓位於第一郵政總局和交易所大樓。建立富勒頓大廈的計劃於1920年制定。但是，由於缺乏資金，建築僅在1924年2月才開始。在最初的基礎工作中，挖掘工作揭示了舊富勒頓堡的砲彈。事實上，富樂頓大廈建在填海土地上。該建築耗資410萬美元，經過幾個月的延遲，於1928年6月完工。

富勒頓大廈於1928年6月27日由總督休·克利福德爵士開幕，他建議以羅伯特富勒頓命名。該大樓有五個創始租戶：郵政總局，交易所，新加坡俱樂部（現為新加坡城鎮俱樂部），海事處和進出口部（後來的貿易和工業部）。它還設有商會和處理農業，漁業和林業的各種政府部門。富勒頓大廈的其中一間房間是已故財政部長Goh Keng Swee博士為新加坡撰寫的許多預算演講稿。該建築設計為利用自然通風，因此有四個內部空氣井來冷卻內部。

富樂頓廣場是新加坡重要的商業區，吸引了許多歐洲移民，很快成為主要商業活動的核心。許多歐洲企業與富國銀行以及特許銀行，香港和上海銀行等大型銀行一起在富勒頓廣場設立。富勒頓大廈建於Grandeur，Class，是新加坡最大的建築，展示了英國殖民統治的權威和力量。此外，富勒頓大廈以納稅人的錢作為政府大樓運營，為殖民精英俱樂部設立了俱樂部，這是一個專屬俱樂部，佔據了近7,000平方米的高層，進一步闡述了英國的地位和權威。在新加坡。

富勒頓大廈（Fullerton Building）上還有一座燈塔，名為富勒頓燈（Fullerton Light），用於引導岸上的船隻並沿著碼頭錨定。它的建造是為了取代1979年退役的Fort Canning Light，因為全球化和在新加坡建造更多高層建築，它逐漸被封鎖。前燈塔的位置現在被燈塔餐廳佔據，以跟上富勒頓酒店的現代風格。

The Architect
Keys and Dowdeswell was an established British international architecture company, their design works can be seen in buildings throughout China and South East Asia from 1920s to 1940s, some of the most prominent buildings in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore were designed by them. Their design works are usually with major significance to a historical period, geographical place and local culture tradition, with many of their buildings in the classical style.

Major Keys & Dowdeswell were established and distinguished designers of grand interior spaces and classical façades. They followed the principals of 20th-century Beaux-Arts tradition of classicism. Relating to some of their core principals in design, they are largely Monumental and Ornamental.

建築師
Keys和Dowdeswell是一家成熟的英國國際建築公司，他們的設計作品可以在20世紀20年代到40年代在中國和東南亞的建築物中看到，吉隆坡和新加坡的一些最著名的建築都是由他們設計的。他們的設計作品通常對歷史時期，地理位置和當地文化傳統具有重要意義，其中許多建築都是古典風格。

Major Keys和Dowdeswell成立了傑出的室內空間和古典外牆的傑出設計師。他們遵循20世紀美術古典主義傳統的原則。與設計中的一些核心原則有關，它們主要是紀念碑和觀賞性的。

Original design

The grey Aberdeen granite Fullerton Building sits on 41,100 square metres (442,400 square feet) of land. The height of its walls measures 36.6 metres (120 ft) from the ground. The building has Neo-classical architectural features which include a two-storey fluted Doric colonnades on their heavy base, and the lofty portico over the main entrance with trophy designs and the Royal Coat of Arms, crafted by Italian Cavaliere Rudolfo Nolli. Originally, there were five distinct frontages, each treated in the Doric order. 14 elevators served the four floors plus the basement floors. A hollow cellular raft foundation was proposed by the original contractors in the 1920s to save cost because bedrock lies directly below the building. The Fullerton Building also possesses the one and only barrel-vaulted, coffered ceiling in Singapore.

原創設計

灰色的Aberdeen花崗岩富勒頓大廈佔地41,100平方米（442,400平方英尺）。其高度距離地面36.6米（120英尺）。該建築擁有新古典主義建築特色，包括在其重型基座上的兩層凹槽Doric柱廊，以及由意大利Cavaliere Rudolfo Nolli精心設計的獎杯設計和皇家徽章的高聳門廊。最初，有五個不同的正面，每個正面以多立克的順序處理。四層樓和地下室樓層共有14部電梯。 20世紀20年代原始承包商提出了一個中空的蜂窩筏基礎，以節省成本，因為基岩直接位於建築物下方。富樂頓大廈還擁有新加坡唯一的桶形拱形天花板。

Restoration
The Fullerton Building restoration project from 1998 to 2000 was a difficult conservation project that involved an institutional building. Architects 61, together with DP Consultants, was engaged to convert it into a 400-room luxury hotel. The hotel rooms were designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates.

During its redevelopment, the historical building had most of its special architectural features retained and restored. The conservation work was coordinated by the URA, which had certain stipulations that the new owners had to comply with. Several features of the original building had to be restored faithfully. These included the General Post Office gallery area on the ground floor, with bays that corresponded with the building’s towering Doric columns on the façade, and the Straits Club Billiard Room. The post office gallery no longer exists, but has been subdivided to provide a bar, a restaurant and the hotel foyer. The Straits Club Billiard Room was kept, but without its wood panelling.

恢復
1998年至2000年的富勒頓大樓修復工程是一項涉及機構建設的艱難保護項目。建築師事務所61與DP顧問合作，將其轉變為一家擁有400間客房的豪華酒店。酒店客房由Hirsch Bedner Associates設計。

在重建期間，這座歷史悠久的建築保留了大部分特殊的建築特色並進行了修復。保育工作由市建局協調，市建局有一些新業主必須遵守的規定。原建築的幾個特徵必須忠實地恢復。其中包括位於一樓的郵政總局畫廊區，其海灣與建築外立面上高聳的多立克柱相對應，還有海峽俱樂部台球室。郵局畫廊不再存在，但已經細分為提供酒吧，餐廳和酒店門廳。海峽俱樂部台球室被保留，但沒有木鑲板。

Exterior works
The building’s neo-classical columns and high-ceiling verandas were retained. It was clad in Shanghai plaster panels, which have been restored. The owners converted the windows back to be housed in timber frames. Part of the tunnel under Fullerton Road, which was used to transfer mail onto ships waiting in the harbour, has also been kept.

外部工程
該建築的新古典柱和高天花板陽台得以保留。它是用上海石膏板覆蓋的，已經修復。業主將窗戶改裝成木框架。富勒頓路下的一部分隧道也用於將郵件轉移到在港口等候的船上。

Interior works
While the building’s exterior has been conserved, the architects had also to transform the interior into a five-star hotel. The room on the fourth storey, where the British Governor was first told of the British military’s decision to surrender to the Japanese during World War II, was converted to an exclusive lounge. The room has a barrel-vaulted, coffered ceiling, which is the only one of its kind in Singapore.

The building’s historical lighthouse, which used to guide ships into the port, has been incorporated into a food and beverage outlet. The Fullerton Light, a revolving beacon of 540 kilocandelas mounted on the roof of the building, was installed in 1958 to replace the Fort Canning Lighthouse which was being demolished. The beacon could be seen by ships 29 kilometres (15.7 nautical miles) away. The Lighthouse has been moved to a new location as an artefact near Harbour Front Tower.

The Fullerton Building was designed for natural ventilation before the age of air-conditioning; one of the architectural devices used to provide this was the internal air-wells. There were four air-wells along the central longitudinal axis, divided by three internal bays of offices, linking the front façade with the rear. It was the largest and the last example of this kind of architecture in Singapore. As air-conditioning became increasingly common, the air-wells became redundant.

Two parallel sets of guest rooms now ring the hotel’s central triangular sky-lit atrium. One row faces out towards the harbour and the tall buildings of the central business district. The rooms of the inner ring have views of the courtyard in the centre of the building. There is an indoor garden over the old Straits Club at the centre of the atrium which can double as a venue for cocktails. The main entrance into the hotel, where dignitaries and celebrities are received, is covered with a large glass canopy at the porch.

室內裝修
雖然建築的外觀得到了保護，但建築師也將內部改造成了一家五星級酒店。第四層的房間，英國總督首先被告知英國軍隊在第二次世界大戰期間向日本投降的決定，被改建為專屬休息室。這個房間有一個桶形拱形格子天花板，這是新加坡唯一的一個。

該建築的歷史燈塔曾用於引導船隻進入港口，已被納入食品和飲料出口。富勒頓燈是一座安裝在建築物屋頂上的540千伏安的旋轉燈塔，於1958年安裝，以取代正在拆除的康寧堡燈塔。距離29公里（15.7海裡）的船隻可以看到燈塔。燈塔已移至新港口，作為港灣大廈附近的人工製品。

富勒頓大廈設計用於空調時代之前的自然通風;用於提供此功能的建築設備之一是內部空氣井。沿中心縱軸有四個氣井，由三個內部辦公室隔開，將前立面與後面連接起來。這是新加坡這種建築的最大和最後一個例子。隨著空調變得越來越普遍，空氣井變得多餘。

兩間平行的客房現在環繞著酒店的中央三角形天窗。一排朝向海港和中央商務區的高樓。內環的客房享有建築中心庭院的景緻。中庭中心的老海峽俱樂部（Straits Club）上設有一個室內花園，可作為雞尾酒的場地。進入酒店的主要入口處，有貴賓和名人，門廊上有一個大玻璃天篷。

Structural and foundation works
Construction work in the interior was carried out to reinforce the beams and columns, while retrofitting done on the exterior to restore the façade.

Although studies carried out before the renovation work began showed most of the raft foundation was still in good condition, water from the adjacent Singapore River had seeped slowly into some of the foundation’s cells over the years, flooding parts of the old basement. As a result, a new precast concrete platform was built over the cells, and waterproofing added. Pillars supporting the entire building now rest on the platform. The engineering team installed a new set of five drainage pumps to counteract the slow seepage of river water. As the building sits on solid rock foundation, no additional piling was required.

結構和基礎工程
內部的施工工作是為了加固樑和柱，同時在外部進行改造以恢復外牆。

儘管在翻新工程開始之前進行的研究表明，大部分筏基礎仍處於良好狀態，但多年來鄰近新加坡河的水已緩慢滲入基礎部分的一些細胞中，淹沒了舊地下室的部分區域。結果，在電池上建立了一個新的預製混凝土平台，並添加了防水功能。支撐整個建築的支柱現在停留在平台上。工程團隊安裝了一套新的五個排水泵，以抵消河水緩慢滲漏。由於建築物位於堅固的岩石基礎上，因此無需額外打樁。
