★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Treasury Building is located near the High Court Building and just adjacent to the Town Hall. The exact location is the crossing of Esplanade Row (West) and the Government Place (West). Actually it was the site where the Spence's Hotel was located. Spence's, the first ever hotel in Asia was opened to the public in 1830 to accommodate large number of regular visitors in the city. The Government acquired the land to accommodate government offices. It was considered definitely the best in Calcutta. The Spence's was shifted to Wellesley Place near the Governor’s House later on. In its place this gigantic and beautiful architecture was constructed between 1882 and 1884 when Lord Ripon was the Governor General of the British India. E J Martin was the architect and the Executive Engineer C J Mills was in charge of the entire construction. This red brick structure is a classic. Tall windows with beautiful arches, matching sets of Corinthian pillars and railed roofs with pair of phoenixes at intervals, decorative tablets, arching gateways and beautiful mansards at each end of the long cloisters running along quadrangles makes it gorgeous. Now it housed the main office of the Principal Accountant General (Audit & Accounts), Government of West Bengal.
