Koti Women's College, formerly the British Residency
A mansion built in the syle of a Palladian villa, built for James Achilles Kirkpatrick when he was British Resident of Hyderabad between 1798 and 1805. It continued to be centre of British power in the south of India until independence in 1947. Set in a large forested, walled compound, it was once the embassy of the East India Company to the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad. Within the compound is a miniature model of the Residency – built for Kirkpatrick's Indian wife Khair un Nissa, who remained in purdah. Restoration works were completed in January 2023. Inside you can see the ornate dining room, offices and pictures of the many famous dignataries who visited in its heyday. The entrance features a long flight of stairs with ornate pillars supporting a giant pediment. Although European in style, it was constructed by local artisans using locally sourced material, with funding from the Nizam. Lime and mud plaster covered the brick and stone and masonry with teak wood beams providing the structural support.
