But within Chennai, it is relegated to the status of a poor cousin. The bank's office on Rajaji Salai is a more splendid structure, even older and more historic. Maybe out of a desire to not give credit to many of its buildings, the bank also does not promote this as a heritage building or anything of the sort. It is only when one steps back on Mount Road and looks at this frontage does the beauty of the structure show itself.

It is a step back in time.
That tree hides it slightly, but it does seem to be a fine building. Perhaps in a city that has a multitude of older public buildings, it's easy to overlook those with more subtle charms...
@ Babooshka: Oh yes, it still is!
@ me: Public or private, Chennai is very grudging in its recognition of buildings...
