The single-storey stone building on the top of a small hill near Jagat Circle in Kalaburagi, which presently houses the office of the Chief Executive Officer of zilla panchayat, is one of the finest structures built by the Nizams of Hyderabad.
Built with locally available black stone blocks and Shahabad white stone in 1881 during the rule of Mir Mahbub Ali Khan Bahadur, the sixth nizam, the magnificent structure stands testimony to the fine architectural taste of the erstwhile rulers of the kingdom of Hyderabad.
The square-shape structure that stands on strong basement has a touch of the Gothic European style of architecture. It has a wide platform and a big open yard in the front with two wide entrance gates under arches and a beautiful garden on the northern side.
