SINGAPORE: Three buildings in Queenstown will be conserved as part of the upcoming Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA's) master plan.

The buildings are Queenstown Public Library, former Commonwealth Avenue Wet Market and Alexandra Hospital.

This was announced by Acting Minister for Manpower Tan Chuan-Jin at the URA Architectural Heritage Awards on Thursday.

The Queenstown library is Singapore's first branch library and is popular with many residents in the area.

Likewise, the former Commonwealth Avenue Wet Market is well-known to residents and visitors to Queenstown.

Alexandra Hospital has also been a part of many significant moments in Singapore's history.
