Central Fire Station shops - Singapore

The Central Fire Station, also known as the Hill Street Fire Station, is Singapore's oldest surviving fire station. Completed in 1909, the distinctive red-and-white brick building was gazetted as a national monument by the Preservation of Monuments Board on 18 December 1998.1 Still an active station, it also houses the Civil Defence Heritage Gallery which showcases the firefighting history of Singapore. The gallery was opened to the public in 2001.

The drawing is unframed and is done on 300 gsm cold pressed watercolour paper. It will be encased in a plastic. I generally do not put an protective fixative on the painting. To keep costs low this will be sent by Registered International Mail and it will reach you in 20-25 days time (depending on location). I will send it in a padded envelope and it will be protected.

COVID is ravaging the world and a second wave in India is particularly devastating. The next 6 months I propose to donate proceeds of the sale of this shop to Covid related charities through the CAREINDIA/GIVEINDIA portal. I will also continue to donate part of the proceeds to a Children's charity as well. As in my previous paintings, I will donate proceeds after deducting ETSY fees and my material costs which roughly works to 10% to Etsy and 5%-8% to me. The rest will go to select charities shops that will change from time to time. I will aggregate all sales, add cash contributions from benefactors and top up cash as needed during the donations.

Remember, your purchase will assist in the fight against COVID and against children.
