Raj Bhavan, Shimla
Raj Bhavan (translation: Government House), formerly Barnes' Court is the official residence of the Governor of Himachal Pradesh. It is located in the capital city of Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.
History
The present-day Raj Bhavan was earlier known as the Barnes' Court. When Himachal became a full-fledged state in 1971, the Peterhoff served as the Raj Bhavan. After the building was damaged in a fire, the Raj Bhavan was shifted to the Barnes Court building.[1]
Originally named after Edward Barnes, the commander-in-chief of British India,[2] it is a neo-Tudor timber-framed building.[3]
