  1. Situated opposite the Queenstown MRT Station, a white building stands abandoned for more than a decade along Commonwealth Avenue. Forgotten over the years, this is the remnant of the once-popular Queenstown/Queensway theatre.

    Built in 1977 and closed in 1999, the cinema, equipped with two screens, reached its peak in the late eighties. The area used to be bustling with life in the evenings, where long queues were common sights as movie-goers lined up for tickets of their favourite movies.

    Countless of blockbusters were screened at Queenstown theatre, a favourite haunt for the residents living in the nearby neighbourhoods. The building also served as an entertainment center that included a KTV and a bowling alley known as the Queenstown Bowl.

    The crowds were long gone, and what is left is an empty building waiting for its fate to be sealed.

    The building was demolished in late 2011 to give way to new development of Queenstown and Commonwealth.
