This is a colonial architectural style of building built by British . This Neo classical building serves as greater chennai corporation building.This Heritage building is well maintained and great to visit this place nearer to Chennai central railway station.

The British architecture has its own magic. What I would like to add along with all reviews is I suggest everyone to go around the area, the nearby roads outside the building. You would be amazed to see early 1900's buildings still standing! It takes you to an era where one can imagine how would 1900's be like. Some old buildings have been converted to shops with same architecture.

Historical master piece! And a well know iconic building of Chennai. It's built in the architectural Neoclassical design and built at span of 4 years from 1909 to 1913. Still standing tall in all white and bright even after 100 years. This is now the place for Greater Chennai corporation of the city.

Chennai building permit given here. Chennai city corporation commissioner work from here. Greater chennai corporation building called as Ribbon building. 1913 it was constructed. Now only renovated ( or )maintain the same GCC.

A majestic building which works as office for Greater Chennai Corporation

The feel of vintage .. the British construction the white painting which Makes more pleasant

The monumental classical building in white !!!! A Neo classical beauty which is more than 105 years old. She was not maintained or preserved by the careless governments of the past which did not bother about its importance or history. But 2022 with the present government this beautiful masterpiece and piece de resistance of Chennai is comming back to its original glory. The building will be part of the Central plaza project and bring back a dirty, sleep area spring back to life and colour and greenery. Well done !!! to all who are part of this project.

Didn't go inside the premises. Just viewed it from the outside, in December 2022 around Christmas time. It is the headquarters of the Greater Chennai Corporation, and is located adjacent to the Chennai Central Railway station, another architectural landmark. As of today, it is 114 years old. The Chennai Corporation has been the occupant of this building since 1913. It was illuminated, maybe on the occasion of Christmas, and it looked beautiful at night.

Stunningly beautiful building (though it is above 100 years old). When I visited this place a few years back it was very poorly maintained. Electrical wiring was very shabbily done and cables were found to be hanging around (Same issue noticed when I visited Egmore Museum!). Don't know why we cannot maintain such important buildings!!!. Administrators should ensure that this building is maintained properly.

Commissioned in the year 1909, Ripon Building was designed by G.T.S. Harris. The foundation stone was laid by Lord Minto, Viceroy of India, on December 11, 1909. It was built by Loganatha Mudaliar, and took four years to build at a cost of 750,000, including a sum of 550,000 paid to Mudaliar.

Built in the year 1913, the Ripon Building is the official seat of the Chennai Corporation and is painted white as a representation of Indo-Saracenic architecture. Situated close to the Chennai Railway Station, it was constructed by Loganatha Mudaliar and was named after Lord Ripon who was the then Governor General of British India. This royal building is rectangular in shape with a 43 meters tower that has a 2.5 meter clock. Also known as Westminster Chiming Clock, this has been the main attraction of the building ever since it was built. It has a mechanical key system that is checked every day.

The Greater Chennai Corporation,formerly known as the Corporation of Madras (1668-1996) and Corporation of Chennai (1996-2016), is the civic body that governs the city of Chennai in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Inaugurated on 29 September 1688, under a royal charter issued by King James II of England on 30 December 1687 as the Corporation of Madras, it is the oldest municipal body of the Commonwealth of Nations outside Great Britain.It is among the oldest municipalities in Asia after Daman Municipality, which was established in 1588. It is the largest municipal corporation is Tamil Nadu with an area of 426 km2. It is headed by a mayor, who presides over 200 councillors, each of whom represents one of the 200 wards of the city.It is the second oldest civic corporation in the world after the City of London.

The building stands majestically next to Chennai Central railway station. The building is decorated with colourful lights during the night. I have heard about this building in some of the movies. This white colour building is also called as Ripon building and 3 km away from the renowned Marina beach

Attended a heritage walk organised by Made of Chennai team today. We assembled by 7.45am. At 8.10 sharp our host started the walk. Starting with Akkam Pakkam exhibit we proceeded towards the main building. From main building we headed towards the archival photo exhibit. From there we came out to view another side of the building. Again we went inside to the first floor and had a view of the floor. The walls of the building are many years old. Due to Madras week celebrations I had a great insight of Rippon building also known as White House and Greater corporation chennai.

Commissioned in the year 1913, Ripon Building was designed by G.T.S. Harris. It was built by Loganatha Mudaliar, and took four years to build at a cost of 750,000, including a sum of 1550,000 paid to Mudaliar.

Greater Chennai Corporation Building. One of the oldest and classic building in the city.

The Ripon Building is the seat and headquarters of the Greater Chennai Corporation in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It is an example of neoclassical architecture, a combination of Ionic and Corinthian styles. The Ripon Building is an all-white structure and is located near the Dr. M.G.R Railway Station. Commissioned in the year 1909, Ripon Building was designed by G.T.S. Harris.

The Ripon building was named after Lord Ripon, Governor-General of British India and the Father of local self-government. Earl of Minto, the then Viceroy and Governor General of India laid the foundation on 12 December 1909. The Municipal Corporation of Madras, after functioning from several other places including Errabalu Chetty Street, settled at Ripon building in 1913, with P. L. Moore as the President of the Municipal Corporation at the time of the inauguration. The inaugural function was attended by over 3,000 of the city's elites.

The Greater Chennai Corporation (previously Madras) is the Oldest Municipal Institution in India established on the 29th September 1688. A charter was issued on the 30th December, 1607 by East Indian Company constituting the "Town of Fort St. George" and all the territories thereunto belonging, not exceeding the distance of ten miles from the Fort, into a Corporation. The Parliamentary Act of 1792 gave the Corporation power to levy Municipal Taxes in the City. The Municipal administration properly commenced from the Parliamentary Act, 1792 making provision for the good order and administration of the city. The Municipal Act has been amended introducing from time to time major changes in the constitution and powers of the Corporation. The Madras Municipal Corporation Act, 1919 (as amended) provides the basic Statutory authority for the administration now.
