Oriental Building in Mumbai is one of the first buildings to come up in the Fort area.
Built in 1885, it initially housed the Cathedral School. In 1893, the building was sold to the Oriental Life Assurance Company.
It is a beautiful blend of Gothic and Indian architecture. There are varioyus sculptures on the building that can hold peoples attention.

Hello Rajesh
Yes this is an amazing building - built during the Raj I'm guessing.
I love the way you've done your mosaic - what program did you use?

I love Fort, Churchgate and Colaba area too for their old buildings and ancient aura.

I could have guessed only an insurance company would have enough money to buy such a gorgeous old building!

Most of these colonial buildings are now government offices or banks. They should do some restoration with the money they have!
I am continually impressed with the wonderful architecture in your city - great photos.
Beautiful ornamentation on the Oriental building.
Old is indeed a skill to be reckoned with
