Photographs of Bangalore domestic architecture. Photographer: Elizabeth Staley
- Scope & Content:
-
Loose prints with captions written in ballpoint, felt-tip pen or pencil on the reverse. The collection forms an extensive reference source for the domestic bungalow architecture of Bangalore, containing general views of houses and details of architectural elements such as the distinctive 'monkey-top' windows, carved barge-boards, porches and roof-line decoration in the form of crenellated parapets, etc. Buildings in both classical and gothic style are included. Many of the photographs contains instructions on the reverse regarding cropping, etc. and are reproduced in Janet Pott's Old bungalows in Bangalore, South India (privately printed, London, 1977). The photographs were taken by the author's daughter. Many of the houses illustrated are described in detail in the text and architectural plans of several will be found at Photo 550/2.
