Beautiful pictures, thanks.
The Hotel also had a post office, I have stamps
of circa 1920 with the Great Eastern Hotel cancellation.

Why not describe the images (as in the content) in details.

Great work. Ironically, it is greener now. Also dirtier now.

The streets were better a 100 yrs ago
These days i don’t feel like walking in that area except for going to Titos to have beer.

Great Eastern Hotel,

I remember the day when we whole family had gone to some outing and we felt like eating something and we stepped in this great hotel….we had not seen the name by then…that time coke used to be of 6.50/-

we sat down…
we looked here and there…
then we looked the menu and found coke to be of 25/-

we all looked at each other for some time and then we left…surprised till the bottoms.

those days we never used to spend so much.
even 6.50/- was much for us.

and today when i pass by, i find it finished and no more there, its been broken….
Wonder what else will come here… lets see and hope for the best…

thats all for today…

@Yogesh:
The hotel is NOT being replaced by anything else, is has almost been renovated and named as “The Grand Great Eastern”

In the era of Global Warming your picture looks very greenish than the older.
