fullerton lighthouse; stamps: singapore, 2019

what. stamps with former lighthouse tower

where. Fullerton Hotel, Singapore

issue information. 1 value of set of 6 stamps, issued to commemorate heritage hotels in Singapore. All stamps in the series feature regular as well as self-adhesive versions.

remarks. The Fullerton Lighthouse was a lighthouse fitted atop the then-General Post Office at Fullerton Building in 1958, replacing the Fort Canning Lighthouse. However, its function as a lighthouse became increasing limited due to the growing height of the Singapore skyline. Hence, it was eventually decommissioned in 1978. Fullerton Building is now a hotel, The Fullerton Hotel, and the tower upon which the lantern sat is now a restaurant named, appropriately, The Lighthouse.
