'''Gove building''', formerly '''Cuddon building''', is a [[Cultural heritage|heritage]] building in [[Chennai]], [[India]]. Located on the arterial [[Anna Salai]], the colonial building was built in 1916 in the [[Indo-Saracenic]] style.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The building was originally built to be used as a car showroom for the city-based [[Simpson and Co]] owned by George Cuddon. With various models of luxury cars, including the [[Mercedes-Benz]], on display, the building was considered the finest showroom in India.<ref name="TH_HeritBldgRenews">{{cite news <br />

Thiruvengadaswamy Mudaliar of VST Motors.<ref name="TH_HeritBldgRenews"/> The building has been used by VST Motors ever since.<br />
Although minor modification were made to the building's interior by the company, the outer part remains untouched to retain its heritage value.<ref name="TH_HeritBldgRenews"/><br />
<br />
==The building==<br />
Gove Building is an ornate brick double-storied commercial structure. It features a wide frontage of about 90 feet, Italian marble flooring, and 18-foot-long plate-glass windows with sun-blinds imported from England.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}<br />
<br />
As of 2020, the building has been used by VST Titanium Motors, a subsidiary company of VST Motors, running a Mercedes-Benz dealership in its 15,000 sq. ft. showroom.<ref name="TH_HeritBldgRenews"/><br />
