Location and Buildings
'Jadunath Bhavan' was built in the British period and is an example of early 20th century colonial architecture of Calcutta. Situated in a centrally located neighbourhood of the city, it is very close to the Calcutta Lakes. While the main research centre has now been shifted to the new building in Baishnabghata-Patuli township, land for which was bought in the early 1980s, 'Jadunath Bhavan' now houses the Jadunath Sarkar Centre for Historical Research and a guest house for visiting scholars and fellows, as well as full fellows of the CSSSC.

Famous quotes containing the word buildings:
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
