The colonial stone structure was facing imminent structural dangers due to broken slabs, its supporting stone brackets, hand railings and balusters. The turn of the century building has RCC elements in it that had corroded severely causing most of the damage. There were other problems like the broken stone cornices and general disfiguration of the stone masonry enveloped in the dust and other pollutants.

The structural restoration involved use of RCC, polymer-bonding agents and corrosion protection agents, mist cleaning and lime wash.
