This part of the house features a long corridor that mirrors the corridor at the back of the House where the Screening Room is situated. The entrance to the House, the Print Gallery connects to the central staircase. The significant story about the staircase took place in the 1950s when the House first became the Assembly House. David Marshall, Singapore’s first Chief Minister was only given a table under this staircase as his office on the first day of his new appointment. He was naturally very unhappy with this arrangement and protested by sitting under the tree outside. He was given a proper office the next day.
