About Legislature Building
The foundation stone of the grand building of the Council House (Vidhan Bhawan) was laid by the then Governor Sir Spencer Harcourt Butler on 15th December, 1922 and the building was inaugurated on 21st February, 1928. The construction of the building was done by Messrs Martin and Co. The Chief Architects were Sir Swinon Jacob and Sri Heera Singh. At that time a sum of Rs. 21 Lakhs was sanctioned for the building. The building is one of the finest examples of Indo-European architectural craftsmanship of the twentieth century. The front part of this crescent shaped two storeyed structure is built with carved light brown sandstone blocks from Mirzapur (Chunar). At the centre of the crescent is a large Gothic dome with an attractive “Chhatry” or sky light. Figures sculpted from stone blocks surround the facade of the dome. Above the tri-arched front of the portico is placed the State emblem (crest) carved in marble.
