The Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall (Chinese: ) is a complex of two buildings and a clock tower joined together by a common corridor and located in the civic district of Singapore.The complex started off with the building of a town hall in 1862, with the foundation stone laid in 1855, to replace the function of older Assembly Rooms, where local operas and dramas had been held, that had fallen into disrepair.Designed by the Municipal Engineer, John Bennett, it was built during an era of Victorian Revivalism that was occurring in Britain. Its design hence reflected this architectural influence with Italianate windows and rusticated columns, and was the first among Singapore buildings to reflect this style.
