Beaulieu House, originally the seaside house of a David family, who were in the mining business, is older even than the Naval Base. It was acquired by the colonial government when the Naval Base was planned, and was probably built around 1910. When work on the Naval Base commenced in 1923/24, it housed the senior engineers and surveyors.

When work on the Naval Base commenced in 1924/25, it housed the senior engineers and surveyors. When the Naval Base was up and running, Beaulieu House was actually used from 1940 - 1942 as a residence by the most senior Naval Officer in Singapore and the Far East, Vice-Admiral Layton, Commander-in Chief, China Station.

Postwar, whilst still part of the Naval Base, it was normally the residence of a Senior Fleet Officer like the Chief of Staff, who would descend the steps and stand on the jetty to take the salute from the crew as ships passed in or out of the Naval Base.

After the Naval Base closed in 1971 Beaulieu House may have had various uses before it became a seafood restaurant in Sembawang Park. Beaulieu House was named after the former residence of the then Admiral Beaulieu.

Sembawang Jetty was constructed in front of Beaulieu House. It was started by the British in the final phases of Naval Base construction. They never had time to complete it, however, before the Japanese Invasion of Singapore in February 1942, it was actually completed by the Japanese.
