Singapore Old Real Photo Postcard Teutonia Club for Germans, Goodwood Park Hotel

Faults: Minor wear at 3 tips
Background: The Teutonia Club — now the Goodwood Park Hotel — was an exclusive enclave for the expatriate German community in Singapore. Construction began in 1899. On 21 September 1900, the new clubhouse opened its doors with an extravagant ball attended by about 500 guests. Good times at the Teutonia Club lasted until World War I. The British government in Singapore classified all Germans as enemy forces and shipped most of them to Australia. The Teutonia Club was then seized by the Custodian of Enemy Property.
