In 1955, Mr Tan Lark Sye and Mr Lee Kong Chian donated $200,000 each, to start the construction of Hokkien Huay Kuan
Building. Other than being used as the Secretariat of Hokkien Huay Kuan, the building also housed the two affiliated
schools, Ai Tong School and Chongfu School.
In the eighties, Ai Tong School and Chongfu School moved to Bishan and Yishun respectively. The SHHK
Arts & Cultural Troupe was established in 1986 and the building was used as the centre for their
activities.
The Arts & Cultural Troupe moved out in 1997 due to an increase in enrolment. SHHK decided to
redevelop the building into an 8-storey commercial building. The work was completed in 2003. Part of
the office space on the 8th storey has been retained for use as the Secretariat of SHHK and the rest
of the building is for lease.
