## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Alkaff Arcade, also known as The Arcade, was a historic building on Collyer Quay in Singapore. Completed in 1909 for the Alkaff family, it was the first indoor shopping centre on the island. Known for its Moorish-style architecture, it was "hailed as Singapore’s best-known waterfront landmark". The building was demolished in 1978 to make way for an office tower.
