273x223mm. View looking along the entrance driveway towards the central block of the old Madras Club. This portion of the building consists of a rusticated arcade at ground level forming a porte-cochere, with a flight of steps on either side leading up to a deep terastyle Tuscan portico. The club is situated south-west of the Fort off Mount Road, and was founded in 1830. Originally a private house, the various club function rooms were added at later dates. The portico seen here was not added until 1865. Photographer unknown, probably John P Nicholas and Co.
