History of the building.
The KL City Gallery building, completed in 1898 and designed by A. C. Norman, government architect of the Federated Malay States, was originally constructed to house the British administration's printing office. It was responsible for printing all government official publications for the FMS, and those of FMS Railways. 
Prior to 1890, the printing for the state of Selangor was carried out by the Singapore and Straits Printing Office in Singapore. In March 1890 John Russell arrived from England to create a printing office for Selangor, first establishing an office in Bluff Road on the hill overlooking the "padang", before moving into the existing building on Jalan Raja in 1898.
