A place Britisher still remember - "Shillong" The Scotland of East

Shillong's colonial architecture, characterized by the distinctive, sloping-roofed Assam-type houses, blends European styles with local materials like wood and bamboo, featuring pitched roofs, wooden floors, fireplaces, and often set amidst lush greenery, seen in places like Rosaville and older government buildings, though this heritage is rapidly disappearing due to modernization. Key examples include heritage homes and structures with inverted cone roofs, European fireplaces, and carved woodwork, reflecting a unique fusion of British design and local resilience, with landmarks like the St. Anthony's School building (now replaced) and the Raj Bhavan representing this fading legacy. #allsaintschurch #cathedralchurch #shillong #meghalaya
