Kolkata Town Hall - Kolkata    Share

Historical and Beautiful place. Must visit it. The majestic Town Hall is an important heritage building of Kolkata. This majestic and historic structure stands witness to some historical gatherings that took place within its walls. The construction of this building was completed in 1814. It is a fine structure built in the Doric style of architecture with steps leading to a grand portico in front. The carriage entrance is at the back under a lofty covered portico. The building is two storied and was originally used for public meetings, receptions, balls, and concerts that generally took place on the upper floor, which is boarded with teak with a thirty feet high ceiling.

It's location is near High Court Calcutta. It was constructed by Maj. General John Garstin in 1813. Before independence it was used as the place for social gathering of the Europeans. After independence the West Bengal Public Service Commission and the Municipal Service Commission would use the heritage building. Now it is being used as Kolkata Museum. There is a library which is beneficial to research scholars. Here there are valuable books. At present the Government of West Bengal organize meetings here. Beloved visitors are requested before seeing it, kindly to enquire whether it is opened or not since now it is closed owing to renovation work continuing.
