The RajajI Publich Hall was constructed around 1800 and 1802, by John Goldingham, the first official astronomer of the Madras Observatory. This was built to commemorate the British victory over Tipu Sultan in the 4th Anglo-Mysore war. This public hall hosted various social events and was built in a budget of just two and a half lakh rupees. The design for the hall was inspired from Parthenon, a Greek temple in Athens. The building is enclosed with original, vintage portraits of Anglo-Indian leaders.
