Also, certain old recreational spaces were converted into subject wise departments affecting the integrity of the siteto a large extent. ADDITIONS POST-1857 ADDITION OF SERVICE AREAS ADDITIONS POST-1949 DEMOLISHED 3 New Toilet blocks introduced enclosing the upper floor projecting balconies in an insensitive and incongruous manner 1 Addition of mezzanine floor to the Durbar Hall 2 Repairs done to the Truss roof in 1882 N 4 Roof gutters effectively planned for roof surface drainage
