Bharat Insurance Building

0  Views

If you're looking to witness one of the best examples of Indo-Saracenic architecture, then the Bharat Insurance Building at Mount Road is the place! Constructed at 1897, this is one of the oldest standing structures in Chennai. What was once a busy commercial spot in Madras, this has been deteriorating due to poor maintenance. However, the vintage appearance, with the stained glass panels, domes, spires, arches, verandhas and minarets have led the Madras High Court to be included in the list of heritage buildings that cannot be demolished.
