Information About
This is a photograph of Dorothy Seah's mother posing next to a structure that was the trademark of Mount Faber. Dorothy says: "The structure acts as a fence, built to protect the pole with a 'ball' at the top. My mother said that the 'ball' would illuminate at night with an orange glow so that those visiting the park would know that they are approaching the Mount Faber". Photograph donated by Dorothy Seah Lee Khim and displayed at the Heritage Roadshow 2008. HRS3_240. Title devised by Library staff.
