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:
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
