Victoria Town Hall, Coimbatore
In 1887, a group of people from the city led by S. P. Narasimhalu Naidu decided to build a structure to commemorate the 50th year of Queen Victoria's coronation.[3] Apart from ₹1,000 (equivalent to ₹500,000 or US$5,700 in 2023) donated by Naidu, funding for the construction was raised from other members of the city council.[5] It was further upgraded and renovated in 2022 to accommodate the larger number of councillors of the newly expanded corporation.The roof is constructed using red Mangalore tiles made of hard laterite clay.The hall is flanked by corridors supported by large Tuscan style columns on three sides.
