Sophia Hills – The History
It was called ‘Seligi Hill’ during the time of Raffles and there can be little doubt that the hill was subsequently renamed after Lady Sophia Raffles. William Flint, the brother-in-law of Sir Stamford Raffles, built and lived in a house on Mount Sophia, but the hill was later sold to Charles Robert Prinsep who also owned the adjacent hill, Bukit Cawa (now Mount Emily).
In 1850, Selegie Road formed part of Mr Prinsep’s nutmeg estate, which was eventually subdivided amongst various purchasers in 1860. A number of houses were erected on the hill including the famous grand Eu Villa, the family home of Eu Tong Sen. The building has since been demolished. Over the years, the area attracted different communities and, in particular, housed many Sikh and Jewish families.
Apart from residences, the hill has also hosted a handful of educational and religious institutions, some of which have left behind buildings with historic and architectural merits. Methodist Girls’ School was at Short Street from 1900 to 1933 and thereafter moved to Adis Road; Nan Hwa Girls’ School was located at 2 Adis Road; Former San Shan School was located along Sophia Road; Chung Hwa Girls’ School was set up in a bungalow (since demolished) at Mount Emily; the former Selegie Primary School building, the first high-rise school in Singapore, still stands along Selegie Road; and St Margaret’s Primary School still operates on the hill today.
