Calcutta High Court
Walter B. Granville · Kolkata, India · 1872
The Calcutta High Court uses a Gothic Revival vocabulary to give judicial administration a distinctive place in Kolkata's civic landscape. Walter Granville's building is characterized by pointed openings, patterned masonry and an emphatic vertical composition. Its continuing legal function makes the public exterior especially important for architectural viewing. Visiting: A working court near the Esplanade; the Gothic facade faces Strand Road and the Hooghly riverfront.
