British Residency, Colonial residence in Kollam, India
The British Residency stands as a two-story palace with European and Indian architectural elements, featuring high glass doors and wooden flooring throughout its structure.
Colonel John Munro supervised the construction of this administrative building between 1811 and 1819, during the period of British influence in Travancore.
The building incorporates architectural elements from European, Indian, and Tuscan styles, with decorated walls featuring festoons, urns, floral motifs, and antique battle prints.
The conference hall contains adjustable doors between antechambers, allowing for flexible space arrangements while maintaining the structural authenticity of the period.
A rounded front with a large gable decoration displays a seated lion bearing the motto 'Dieu et mon Droit' at the crown of the building.
