At ground floor, inside a hall which was embellished Ajanata-Ellora style with lotus motifs and divine beauties looking down from the ceiling. The floor was marble with ochre borders. Masons from Lucknow had come down to build it. the house originally belonged to Biswanath Roy of Narial.Later, Nakul Biswas, had bought it in 1950. The Biswases were once big timber merchants with a stone quarry in Chandil in Signhbhum. The road on which this 33-cottah house stands was named , Ramratan Roy.Whenever the Narail zamindar would go back home, the INA turned it into a camp. In those days the doors had ivory knobs and the staircase was carpeted. In 1971, when the entire Baranagar area was overrun by Naxalites, the Biswases had to abandon the house for some time. It was set on fire and the house was partially damaged. |
