'This building is situated in the Palace enclosure, though separate from it, forms a portion of it, and is of some interest, as it has been successively the residence of Sir Herbert MacPherson, Sir Frederick Roberts, and Sir Charles Arbuthnot, the Chief Military Commanders in Upper Burmah during the Campaign of 1886-87.
