Grand Hotel, Calcutta, 1918
Scope and Contents
204x144mm. View from the Maidan looking towards the Grand Hotel, situated at 15-17 Chowringhee Road between Lindsay and Corporation Streets. A large four storey block, the hotel occupies the former site of a series of boarding houses run by a Mrs A. Monk and purchased from her by Mr. A. Stephen. These buildings apparently formed the nucleus of the Grand Hotel (Macmillan p.125, Massey p.98) although, according to Firminger pp.266, 268, Mrs. Monk was still running boarding houses at 14 and 15 Chowringhee Road in 1906, (Massey p.98).
