Views of BMC & Victoria Terminus Bombay – 6 Postcards
Six old postcards with views of BMC & Victoria Terminus in Bombay, now Mumbai. The postcards are from around 1890 to 1915. Two of them are of the Bombay Municipal Corporation, one with a panoramic view. The other two include views of the Municipal Corporation building and the Victoria Terminus.
The road between the Victoria Terminus and the BMC is Hornby Road (now Dadabhai Naoroji Road). The road on the left of BMC is Crushank Road (now Mahapalika Marg). The massive BMC building was designed by the same architect as that of the Victoria Terminus: F W Stevens. Quite a number of early electric trams are visible in the postcards. Although one of them shows horse-drawn trams with advertisements for Nestle Milk. Click on the photo for better view.
Did you know – the chief architectural feature is the central dome that rises to a phenomenal height of 71.5 m (234.6 ft).
