Images of a renovation to a 200-year-old landmark building in India


 

An approximately 200-year-old colonial structure in India has been restored thanks to a lengthy conservation project.


This month saw the completion of renovations at Hyderabad's Telangana Mahila Viswavidyalayam (formerly Osmania University College for Women).


Colonel James Achilles Kirkpatrick lived in the heritage property from 1797 to 1805 while serving as the British representative to the Hyderabad court. The building was eventually transformed into a university.


Throughout the years, the building deteriorated as a result of inadequate upkeep, shoddy repairs, and excessive local traffic.


The building was added to the World Monuments Fund (WMF) watchlist in 2002, and a 20-year restoration effort was started. The non-profit organization supports historic sites that urgently need to be protected. WMF, local and international charities, as well as private benefactors, provided financing for the restoration of various building components in phases.


The final stage of the project, which required repairing three historic gates and the structure's central hall, was finished in May of last year thanks to the intervention of the largest Commonwealth heritage discussion program in the world.


In addition to providing £157,000 ($193,000) toward the project, the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Commonwealth Heritage Skills Training Programme, funded by the UK-based nonprofit Hamish Ogston Foundation, also gave young people from the UK and Hyderabad the opportunity to work on the building and learn conservation techniques from professionals.


The university is the first of 20 projects that the restoration program has chosen.


The program's upcoming task will be to restore Roxburgh House in Kolkata's Botanical Gardens, in the eastern metropolis.
