The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.. This is one of the most iconic and interesting buildings of the city where the architecture of this place speaks volume of its importance. It is a great place to visit and its tour throws some light on the history and working of this place.

This historic building is so gorgeous and it looks absolutely stunning. If you are someone who is interested in history or old buildings, do visit this place and you will not regret it. It has been preserved for a few 100 years now and the vintage vibe of this place is so nice.
