This copy was traced by Choo Ah Cheong on 13.7.1921. Additional markings in pencil and red ink were added on in later years and the last amendments were in 1934.
Additional information contributed by user(s):
1. One building which is not shown is St George's Church which was completed in October 1911 and still stands on Minden Drive (July 2020).
2. The former church which was shared between the Roman Catholics and Anglicans (currently the White Rabbit Restaurant, July 2020) is shown. According to the Straits Times it was built in 1895. Hence, the original map could likely be based on surveys done between 1896 and 1910.
3. The pumping engine house by the Lake in the Botanic Gardens was not built until 1907 from the Gardens' Annual Reports and likely narrows down the initial production of this map to between 1907 and the later date of 1910 suggested above.
