Dalvey Estate and White House Park is not foreign to me, even before I started my research on this article, I’ve driven past this road many times but I will never forget the first time I saw Arwaa Mansion from the bend along Dalvey Road. It’s perhaps the most famous spot in the whole enclave and in fact, many couples take their wedding pictures with the lush greens and majestic structure in the background and unless you know where it is or someone had told you where it was taken, you wouldn’t have guessed that it’s in Singapore.
A little further in, Glencaird House, one of the four original homes built along White House Park still stands. It was built in the late 1800s and designed by R. A. J. Bidwell — the same mind behind Raffles Hotel.
And like Cluny next door, Dalvey and White House Park brush right against the Botanic Gardens.
