This was originally the College Gymnasium open all round. To provide accommodation for the increased number of Kumars the Gymnasium was walled in and made into a Boarding house, in 1904, with three large rooms, a room for the House Master and a spacious verandah in the south. the fittings and apparatus were placed under a corrugated iron roof to the west of the Old Boarding House. These were moved to the new College site in 1908. To the north of this new Boarding house were two tennis courts where the European Ladies and Gentlemen of the station often came to play tennis with the Kumars. |
