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 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.[1] It was built in 1883.[2][3]
