The Elphinstone College building on MG Road in Fort area of Mumbai is one of the oldest structures in the city.
It was designed by Trubshaw and Khan Bahadur Muncherjee Murzban in the 1880s. The imposing building is built in Gothic architecture.
It has majestic stone balconies, brackets and balustrades. The facade has intricately designed surface motifs apart from other decorative features.
It was originally meant to house the Government Central Press. But from 1888, it has been used for academic activities.
The College has produced several luminaries like Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Pherozshah Mehta, and Jamshedji Tata.
