	Raffle House
		Raffles was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Java in 1811 and promoted to Governor of Sumatra shortly thereafter, during the period Britain took administrative control of the Dutch colonies while the Netherlands were preoccupied with the Napoleonic Wars in Europe.
		Raffles declared the foundation of what was to become modern Singapore on 6 February of that year, securing transfer of control of the island to the East India Company.
		Raffles is, in many ways, a deliberate inversion of Holmes — he is a "gentleman thief," living in the Albany Mansions, a very upscale address in London, playing cricket for the Gentlemen of England and supporting himself by carrying out ingenious burglaries.
