The colonial mansions are therefore not the only colonial influences in the city. The tram, famous Howrah Bridge and the Victoria Memorial are some of the landmarks that still remind us of the one time masters of the city. Some of these buildings were used for official purposes, while others served as residences of British resident officers. Some of the Victorian looking buildings that dot the cityscape interestingly belonged to aristocrats of the country who took after their colonial masters while designing their own residences.
