Bangalore has several structures that showcase architectural styles of different eras. Some of these buildings have still survived rapid growth and modernity in the city. They have managed to retain their charm among new structures.
Town Hall built on 1935 in European classical Greco-Roman style is one such gem. A flight of steps lead to the entrance porch resting on Tuscan columns. The foundation for this building was laid by the then Maharaja of Mysore, Sri Krishna Rajendra Wodeyar and construction was supervised by Dewan of Mysore province, Sir Mirza Ismail.

This classical type of architecture would be at home anywhere in the world. Then you notice the colour of the stone.
Charming indeed! I love the balconies on the second floor and the arches. It's such a grand scale!
Agree with you on its exist! Great compo on the building.

This is a very imposing building. I really like the light you've captured in this photo.
Marvelous and magnificent structure.
Nice shot - I love older buildings in a modern city.
Now that is an attractive town hall...and gives the appearance of solidity and strength!

Great shot of the town hall.
The town hall looks beautiful in that lighting. How nice that the building retains its original styling.
Never been inside this place but passed by several times. Didnt know its history. But, no doubt, an impressive and magnificent piece of architecture
