Calcutta - City of Joy: Sign of British era!

Calcutta was developed by the East India Company of Britain in 1690 almost 325 years ago. Thereafter, the company flourished and with it flourished Calcutta. The British dethroned the Moghuls and ruled India till 14th August 1947. During their era the British did plenty of construction work in Kolkata. There are hundreds of buildings in Calcutta which stand proof of their constructive contribution towards development of Calcutta. 
The photograph, clicked on the go, shows one such building close to Ram Mandir, Kolkata. The condition of the building looks good even today!
