The Dispensary

This week's Sepia Saturday theme is about store fronts. My image is from Private Clark's album and it was taken in Singapore in 1909 while he was serving with the Middlesex Regiment.

The Dispensary, founded in 1879 by Dr. John Hutchinson Robinson, was located on Raffles Place. There's a 1905 photograph of The Dispensary taken from a different angle here and more information here. Further down the street are more stores including a French hairdresser and an outfitter.
