This house still stands tall, and is one of the most picturesque bungalows of Garden reach. It belongs to the South Eastern Railway. The house was constructed in 1846 and its design was apparently inspired by the Temple of Winds of Athens. It later inspired the structure of Metcalfe Hall.Nawab Wajid Ali arrived in Kolkata on May 6, 1856, and after his release from Fort William, he was allotted this building as his residence. In those days, it was called Parikhana, and the Garden Reach area was called Muchikhola. The Nawab had come to stay here with his harem of begums and hundreds of maids. That is probably why this house was named as Fairy Home or Parikhana. Though the Nawab loved the flowing Ganga’s distributary, the mighty Hooghly, he missed Lucknow’s Gomti a lot and died a sad man.
