Northbrook Hall, Red brick colonial building in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh
The Northbrook Hall features Indo-Saracenic architecture with four octagonal towers, horseshoe arches, and ornamental parapets along the Buriganga River bank.
Built in 1880 as a town hall during British rule, the structure commemorates Lord Northbrook's visit and received funding from local Zamindars of Dhaka.
The building incorporates architectural elements from both Mughal and European Renaissance periods, reflecting the fusion of Eastern and Western design principles.
The structure currently houses a public library with over 1000 books and includes Johnson Hall, serving as a community center for local gatherings.
The building's original red exterior earned it the local name Lalkuthi, while its location provided direct views of the Buriganga River before urban development.
