Doveton House built by the renowned architect, Benjamin Roebeck. The colonial pillars in the front and the half-moon steps at the back of the house resemble another famous building of the same period-the White House. Doveton House served mainly as a residential place for English officers of the East India company. The building took its name from Lt.General John Doveton who acquired it in 1837. He was the soldier in-charge for looking after Tipu Sultan’s sons when Lord Cornwalls held them as hostages in Madras. It houses the Women’s Christian College today.
