Botanical Architecture

In addition to the expected flora, the Lalbagh Gardens feature a few architectural gems as well.  The structures are old, dating to the turn of the 20th century and earlier.

British influence is present, as in this building called The Glass House, taking its cues from Kew, the famous garden outside London.  A regal bench, protector of pocketbooks and handbags.



A water tower and meeting hall.  Look closely and you'll see both structures seem to be animal attractions.
