Houses at Gibraltar Crescent

The oldest black-and-white houses in Sembawang were built in 1929 at Gibraltar Crescent. These houses were also known as the Jacksons, as they were originally occupied by engineers of Sir John Jackson Limited. During World War II, one of these houses was destroyed and replaced by a single-storey building known as the Dockyard Theatre or Japanese Theatre. After the war, this building served as a multi-purpose hall for badminton games and musical performances. In the 1990s, the Japanese Theatre and nine other bungalows at Gibraltar Crescent were used for corporate bootcamps by Singapore Airlines’ Service Quality Centre.
