The Currency Building (Kolkata)

India / Bangla / Barabazar / Kolkata / RN Mukherjee Road
 office building, monument, listed building / architectural heritage
Located at the south-east corner BBD Bag, this building is in urgent need of renovation.One of the entry-exit gates will fall within 85 metres of the prohibitive zone. However, KMRC has adopted the architectural style of the Currency Building for constructing the entry-exit gate so that it looks integral with the heritage atmosphere of Dalhousie Square. Two other structures on the ground will come up beyond 100 meters of Currency Building. During the construction of the tunnel and platform, KMRC will use various meters to monitor repercussions of the constructions. A third party will also audit the construction process.


Recently, it was renovated to its former glory by the Archeological Survey Of India.
New photos of the structure have been attached.
