The judges residence
Visit date : 2011
Year of build : 1930's
Current status : Abandoned
 

This 1930’s bungalow was last used as a judges residence. The design of the building is typical for many old government homes of the time. It has a large pyramidal roof to help shed heavy monsoon rains, whilst inside it has large rooms with high ceilings and verandas. There’s even a separate cookhouse and quarters for servants out the back. The colonials really knew how to live in relative comfort.

Much of the bungalows original issued furniture also remained inside. Low slung cane chairs sat in the living room downstairs, whilst more minimalist pieces populated the rooms upstairs.

A revisit back here a couple of years later and the bungalow had since been completely renovated and was now the official residence of a VIP.
