EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1920, showcases the grandeur of Thadious Mansions, a historic building located on Park Street in Calcutta, India, now known as Kolkata. The British colonial influence is evident in the ornate design of this magnificent structure, which once bore the name of Thaddeus, a prominent figure in the region's history. The mansions' facade is adorned with intricate details, including elaborate domes and balustrades, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the British Raj era. The large balcony, with its ornate ironwork, offers a glimpse into the elegant lifestyle of the colonial elite. Thadious Mansions, now known as Park Mansions, stands proudly at the corner of Park Street and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road, a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Calcutta. The building's imposing presence on the street, with its high arches and tall columns, exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. The photograph transports us back in time to the 1920s, an era of change and transformation in India. The Thadious Mansions, with its timeless beauty, stands as a reminder of the colonial past and the enduring influence of the British Empire on Indian architecture. This photograph is an exquisite example of the architectural wonders that can be found in Asia and the Asian subcontinent during the 1920s. The intricate details, from the ornate domes to the large balcony, are a feast for the eyes, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history, architecture, or the colonial past.
