The building was built before 1895 and is a historically significant
site.
The building has survived many transitions
:
first as a military hospital,
then as an officers mess and eventually as
The Institute of Malarial studies, Osmania University.
Sir (
Colonel ) Ronald Ross discovered the
medical link between mosquito and malaria, while working as a military doctor.
The building is a typical military structure of that period with a linear,
large multipurpose central hall / walls and verandahs on either side.
The
building was constructed with not great quality bricks and mud mortar, lime plastered and
white washed and has a timber framed tiled roof.
The
floors may have been of large granite slabs in all the rooms, but perhaps had been over
time replaced with IPS/ kadappa/ and even mosaic tiles, to have a functionally adoptive
modern floor. |
