Some very ornate architecture in Old Dhaka. Had I actually listened on our walking tour, I could provide an informative account of the history of this impressive building. Instead the general impression I came away with is that it dates back to the colonial period, a lot of people live there now (the profusion of power/phone lines also speaks to this) and that the current tenants would generally prefer something nice and new to something … old. Because of this, and because of the very high population density, most historical buildings in Dhaka are in danger of being torn down to make way for new high-rises.

Very very Ornate balcony yes indeed! Looks very nice and busy..I wonder how safe they are??..they look a bit run down eh?!??
Wow, thats a lot of lines. Hopefully they are all installed correctly.
They do look a little unsafe. I hope they preserve them.
Such great detail. It would be great to refurbish it.
Looks beautiful! Btw, I accidently stumbled upon your blog as I was looking out for info on Bangladesh. I’m actually thinking of going to work there for a while (but people around me say I’m crazy!)
I’m really happy to read your blog entries, as they’re simple and give a very nice insight of Bangladesh which I was hoping to find online. Thanks, keep up the good entries and God bless 🙂
