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.

ReplyDeleteYes this is an amazing building - built during the Raj I'm guessing.

Most of these colonial buildings are now government offices or banks. They should do some restoration with the money they have!
