dc.descriptionFacade with Sir Pherosha Mehta statue in front; The building houses the civic body that governs the city of Mumbai, which is now named the Brihanmumbai Mahanagar Palika. On December 9, 1884, the foundation stone for the new building of the Bombay Municipal Corporation was laid opposite Victoria Terminus (now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, also by Stevens), by the then Viceroy, Lord Ripon. The building is V shaped to accommodate the site and plaza facing the railway station. It has similar polychrome Gothic Revival ornamentation, with Minton tiles and stained glass in the interior.
