The '''Town Hall''' in [[Bulandshahr]], India, was built by [[Muhammad Baquar Ali Khan]] at a cost of Rs. 30,000 in the late 19th century. The project was overseen by [[Frederic Growse]], a British civil servant of the [[Indian Civil Service]], who had been appointed [[District magistrate|collector]] of the region in 1878. It is situated in Moti Bagh, which was created as a public garden. The main approach was via the [[Garden Gate, Bulandshahr|Garden Gate]].<ref name=Till1989>{{cite book |last1=Tillotson |first1=G. H.
