Great Western Building, Colonial building near Apollo Bunder, Mumbai, India

The Great Western Building features multiple stories with architectural elements from the 18th century, including tall windows and stone masonry construction.

Built in 1764, the structure initially served as the residence for the Governor of Bombay before becoming the Admiralty House from 1770 to 1795.

The building's transformation from a British colonial structure to a public space reflects the changing social dynamics of post-independence Mumbai.

Located near major transportation hubs, the building now houses various businesses, including stockbroking firms and retail establishments.

At over 250 years old, this structure stands as the oldest privately owned building in Mumbai, covering more than 4,500 square meters.
