Raintree Bangalore

The vast expansive ground almost seems surreal, bang in the middle of bustling Bengaluru traffic. On the long winding approach to the house from the gate, you can’t miss the raintree that dominates the colossal compound, which now hosts the boutique’s parking area. The store, with a steep tiled roof, derives its name from this ancient tree.

The colonial bungalow which houses Rain Tree is around 60 years old. It was originally built by an Irishman as a private bungalow before being rented out as an office space and now as a boutique.

It remained as the official residence of the Commissioners of Bangalore till the country gained independence in 1947. Today the bungalow serves as a guest house for visiting VIPs. The government planned to demolish parts of this stately structure to convert it into a club for legislators in 2014 but the building was rescued by the heritage-lovers of the city.-PC-(Deccan Herald,Deccan Chronicle,India Today)
