View of service at Bethesda (Katong) Church at junction of Carpmael and Pennefather Roads. Foundation stone for this Brethren church was laid on 11 November 1935 by Mrs Wee Thiam Seng, wife of banker who donated the land on which it still stands and grandmother of Mrs Lee Kuan Yew. Completed at end of 1936, it is the first "branch" of the Brethren church in Singapore, the first main church being Bethesda Chapel at 77 Bras Basah Road. The history of the Brethen church here can be traced back to the mid 19th century when Philip Robinson, co-founder of Robinson and Company, first arrived.
