Oriental Building


The first to come up was Oriental Building in 1885, which housed the Cathedral School before an insurance firm took over.
Oriental Building, 364 Dr D Naoroji Rd.
A beautiful building was put up on the Esplanade costing Rs. 87,000. The new school at the Esplanade was named after Mr. John Connon, a well known philanthropist and Chief Registrar of Bombay.
In 1893 the building was sold to the Oriental Life Assurance Co., and with the proceeds the present Senior School building, a happy blend of Gothic and Indian architecture, was erected and occupied in 1896. catalumni.com
