Structure of the building is similar to the other Jamindar mansions of that period. It was built by Brozendra Kishor Ray Chowdhury.
Government officers and a few of their subordinates are currently living at that mansion. It has around 20 rooms inside. Anyone can visit this building anytime. You may not get permission to enter inside, but can explore the building from outside. Usually it would take approximately 20 minutes to explore this Gouripur lodge.
