Examples of Colonial Architecture - Sunday



Carmen's husband is an architect so we stopped often to take pictures of buildings. The majority of the buildings were built by the British. They are a mix of European design incorporating Indian elements. Very few of these older buildings have been maintained in the 60 years since the British left India. Most of the ones that have been maintained are used now as government buildings and universities. The pictures above are examples of the ones that have been maintained.
On many of the buildings that have not been maintained quite as well or at all, you can imagine what they were like as some of the detail is still there.
