The courtyard of an old house in Baghbazaar (North Kolkata) reflects the taste of local kings and landlords who owned considerable landed property and enjoyed the patronage of the British administration. Western architectural forms are clearly discernable fused with traces of Indian ornamental elements. This house belonged to the Boses of Baghbazar who were probably influenced by the western education while retaining the indigenous functional aspects of building mansions whose main entranceway and drawing lounge were separated from the living quarters by an inner courtyard.
