Image description

Photograph of a bungalow on Malabar Hill in Bombay (Mumbai), Maharashtra, by an unknown photographer, from an album of 40 prints taken in the 1860s. Bombay, one of the key cities of India, is a major port, busy manufacturing centre and capital of Maharashtra. During British rule, it was the administrative capital of the Bombay Presidency. The first European to build a bungalow on Malabar Hill was Mountstuart Elphinstone during his period of Governorship of Bombay (1819-1827). After this in the boom period of the 1860s and 1870s many Europeans built houses here and the area became the exclusive locality which it still remains.
