Ruplal House, 19th century mansion in Farashganj, Bangladesh
Built along the Buriganga River, Ruplal House spans over fifty rooms across two stories and features a facade with Renaissance architectural elements and semi-Corinthian columns.
Armenian merchant Stephen Aratoon constructed the mansion in 1825, which was later purchased by brothers Ruplal Das and Raghunath Das in 1840 for reconstruction.
The mansion's grand hall on the upper floor served as a dance venue where Lord Dufferin, the viceroy of India, attended a ceremonial ball in 1888.
The Department of Archaeology currently oversees the protection of this structure, although sections of the building house spice vendors and temporary residents.
The building's ground plan forms the letter E with three northern extensions, where the central section stretches approximately 1830 meters outward.
