BMC building the architectural tour

THE BMC BUILDING

Designed by Frederick William Stevens, the building has a remarkable 235 feet tall front tower. Since it is an administrative building, it has been out of bounds for heritage enthusiasts who may have wanted to explore its architecture. But now here is an opportunity to go on a guided tour through this magnificent building.

Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation, in collaboration with the BMC, has introduced a heritage walk through the premises. Curated by Mumbai-based Khaki Tours, the walk traverses more than 100 years of history and the details of the grand architecture. “The tour is a marriage between history and civic governance,” said Bharat Gothoskar, founder of Khaki Tours. The walk through the building gives people a chance to see up close the offices where the decisions about the city’s welfare are taken, he said.

THE INDO-GOTHIC structure of the building can be seen.
