The majestic Whiteway building was constructed by Calcutta-based contractors, Mackintosh Burn & Company. The massive Corinthian pillars, beautiful arcade, huge domes and clock towers – were all very impressive and attracted widespread attention. Europeans and Englishmen who landed in the city harbor were mesmerized by the splendid structure. The ground and first floors of the building housed the departmental store. The second and third floors accommodated office and apartments; the area earmarked for office space was named Victoria Chambers. A grand tea room had a pride of place in the building, one that could give Harrods and Mitsukoshi tea rooms a run for their money. Finally, after Independence in 1947, Metropolitan Insurance Company took full charge of the building and it was re-christened as Metropolitan Building.
