Chummery House, Colonial-era government building in Ramna, Dhaka, Bangladesh

The three-story white Chummery House features classical colonial design elements with large windows, covered verandas, and traditional Bengali architectural details.

During the British colonial period in the 1920s, Chummery House served as living quarters for unmarried English officers working in Dhaka.

The building, now the headquarters of CIRDAP, represents the transformation of Bangladesh's administrative structures from colonial times to present governance.

Located opposite to the High Court building, Chummery House maintains regular office hours and requires prior permission for visits through official channels.

The structure transitioned from a bachelor residence to a women's dormitory for Dhaka University before becoming an international development center.
