Burkill Hall

Burkill Hall is a historic bungalow in the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Constructed in 1868 to house the directors of the gardens, the building features broad verandahs and high ceilings to allow for more natural light and ventilation, and was originally known as the Director's House on the grounds of the Gardens, later renamed to Burkill Hall after Isaac Burkill and Humphrey Burkill.

[1][2] The building was the residence of gardens superintendent Henry James Murton.

[3] The bungalow served as the residence of the first scientific director of the gardens, Sir Henry Nicholas Ridley.

[5][6] The building is the last Anglo-Malayan plantation-style house in the region and possibly in the world.
