The Currency Building : An Italian structure built in the year 1833, this beautiful building in the South-east corner of Kolkata's BBD Bag area was earlier known as Agra Bank. It was also housed as the Reserve Bank of India till 1937. ~

Built under Lord Bentinck, the characteristic features of the building are large wrought iron gates, large brick arches and Venetian windows with intricate designs. The roof was arched with iron joists, and the floor with marble and Chunar sandstone. ~

Unfortunately, just like other heritage structures in our country, the Currency Building was on the verge of demolition, till the ASI took charge over the place and declared it a heritage and protected place. ~

Currently the building is under renovation, and the Currency Building will never look like what it had originally been. What ArchIndia suggests is its viewers to go ahead and visit the Currency Building before it loses its historic touch. ~
