Singapore Naval Base Housing. The Jacksons

Singapore Naval Base Housing - The Jacksons. 156 Gibraltar Crescent. Built at the start of the Naval Base construction in 1929 by Sir John Jackson for his European Staff. Due to the ever present shortage of suitable accommodation close to the Naval Base (some families rented in Johor) the 'Jackson' blocks became subdivided into three units and used as temporary accommodation for middle grade Civilian staff and their families before being allocated more permanent accommodation in a larger bungalow.
