In response to these developments, the British Administration established the Chinese Protectorate in 1877 to manage the needs of the Chinese community. It was first located in a shophouse on Canal Road. Pickering was a skilled mediator, fluent in several Chinese dialects including Mandarin, Hokkien, Foochow, Teochew, Hakka, and Cantonese. His linguistic abilities and understanding of Chinese culture made him well-suited for his role.
In 1886, The Protectorate relocated to a building on Havelock Road. By the 1920s, the existing building was in poor condition, prompting plans for a new structure. Construction of the new building began on the same site in 1928, and by 1930, the Chinese Protectorate moved into what is now known as the Former Ministry of Labour Building .
