Time Travel Through Mount Road

About the walk

This event is ticketed.

 

Mount road is a Chennai icon! 

After almost 10 long years of metro rail construction, the barricades are down, the traffic is easing, and Mount Road is returning to its majestic best. Madras and Mount Road are intertwined deeply in the hearts of all the city's residents and we want to celebrate its architecture, history and people! 

Come join us to explore the unique buildings on Mount Road and the settlement that is older than the road itself. Understand and learn about institutions such as the Agurchand Mansion and Bharat Insurance Building. Come enjoy the interesting stories about commercial establishments such as the Chellarams, Gove Building, LIC building and Higginbothams Pvt Limited, all of whom have an entrenched association with the eclectic Anglo-Indian community residing in the area. 

Walk down and explore the forgotten by-lanes and interior streets of the famous artery of Madras to imbibe the history and architecture of these glorious buildings and communities.
