Welcome to the glorious Esplanade House
Interiors: Esplanade House (1887)
Waudby Road, Esplanade, Bombay.
Esplanade House, the palatial residence of industrialist Jamsetji Tata (1839-1904) has been restored to its former glory.
The painstaking restoration work, which took over a decade, was carried out by conservation architect Vikas Dilawari and was funded by the current owners of the building, the R. D. Sethna Scholarship Fund.
Our next photos series will focus on the intricate tiling patterns found on the various floors of the mansion.

Gorgeous, beautiful, eye boggling – what the Parsi Sethias were and what has become of us today – bickering, abusive, greedy!
My late paternal aunt (My Dad’s sister) Banoo Billimoria once lived in Esplanade Court. Is this the same place? Kersi Bellihomji

The Great Mr. Ratan Tata deserves nothing but THE BEST OF EVERYTHNG IN THE WORLD.
