The architectural styles of Darjeeling town, itself laid out by Lord Napier of Royal Engineers. In the year 1839 there were only ten huts and hundred people.

They had observed that the Climate and place was suitable for health. So that they had proposed to make Darjeeling as a summer resort as per recommendation of Lt. General G.A. Lloyd.

Why Bengal Government doesn't declare historical and heritage buildings of Darjeeling a protected monument.Darjeeling was summer capital of India.
Yes ma,am you are correct. We are forgotten heritage. as a heritage profession I feel it. My research completed from Italy and they are aware about protection and value of historic and heritage object. I written so many article in news paper but no body to take action / aware to protect our fabulous collection in Darjeeling.
