Restoration
The Victoria Public Hall in Chennai is missing the plaque marking its opening in 1888, even as other historical markers remain intact after recent restorations. Designed by architect R.F. Chisholm and funded partly by the Maharajah of Vizianagaram, the hall opened under controversial circumstances involving Governor Lord Connemara. Speculation suggests the plaque's absence ties to rumors about Connemara's personal life at the time.
