Old High Court Building, Dhaka

Old High Court Building, Dhaka, Colonial judicial building near Curzon Hall, Dhaka, Bangladesh

The Old High Court Building stands on High Court Street, opposite Curzon Hall and beside Ramna Green in Dhaka. Chishty Brothers Architects and Engineers designed it in Renaissance style, and it is described as Dhaka's finest example of that European style, with few or no Mughal features. The building is now divided into two parts, one used for a crime tribunal and the other by the Law Commission.

The building was erected after the 1905 partition of Bengal to house the governor of the new province of Eastern Bengal and Assam, but it was never used for that purpose. Its site was chosen by Lieutenant Governor Sir Joseph Bampfylde Fuller. After the 1947 partition of India it became the High Court Building.

The building is known locally as the Old High Court Building, and its south side faces Ramna Green. It was built as the residence of the governor of the new province of Eastern Bengal and Assam after the 1905 partition of Bengal, though it was never used for that purpose. Today it is divided into two parts: one houses the International Crimes Tribunal and the other falls under the Law Commission.

The building functions as an administrative center today, housing tribunals and commissions near Ramna Green. Visitors should keep in mind that access may be limited depending on ongoing government operations within the complex.

The Bengali Wikipedia article records that the building was erected after the 1905 partition of Bengal as the residence of the governor of the new province of East Bengal and Assam, but was never used for that purpose. Its site was chosen by Lieutenant Governor Sir Joseph Bampfylde Fuller.
