Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla
One of the Heritage buildings of India is the Indian Institue of Advanced Studies at Shimla. The building that houses the institute was originally built as a home for Lord Dufferin, Viceroy of India from 1884–1888 and was called the Viceregal Lodge. It housed all the subsequent viceroys and governors general of India. It occupied Observatory Hill, one of the seven hills that Shimla is built upon. The building is designed in Indo-Gothic style. The building was designed by Henry Irwin, an architect in the Public Works Department. The Viceregal Lodge had electricity as early as 1888, much before the rest of the town of Shimla
