Curzon Hall, British Raj educational building in Shahbagh, Bangladesh.
The red brick structure features a central hall with lateral wings, verandahs, ornate brackets, and multiple domed terrace pavilions across two floors.
Lord Curzon laid the foundation stone in 1904 for what was initially planned as a town hall before becoming part of Dhaka University in 1921.
The building witnessed the 1948 student protests against Mohammad Ali Jinnah's declaration of Urdu as Pakistan's sole state language.
The premises include the University of Dhaka's Botanical Garden, where students conduct plant research and attend botany classes throughout the academic year.
The structure combines European and Mughal architectural elements, featuring horse-shoe arches and cusped arches in its northern facade design.
