This is when the Mehra family took charge. Residency Fort came into being through sheer providence. The Mehra patriarch was looking towards expanding his successful catering business and was scouting around for a well located place near the erstwhile Victoria Terminus.He chanced upon the “To Let” sign outside the fire station, by then outdated and earmarked for sale by the British authorities. It was situated near a busy junction and came with sound construction … a perfect fit. However, the sale was conditional in that the station had to be demolished. However, it took a new twist! The two new acquisitions were joined by some ingenious architecture and masonry to be restructured as one lot and the Residency Fort. This accounts for the eccentric corridors (passages). The lift shaft is the meeting point of the two buildings.Extensive care has also been taken to maintain as much of the fire station as possible. Updating the plumbing and electrical facilities were a challenge since the buildings are of different materials and design. There was fair success in blending the facade, while keeping the original layout and design in sync with the modern hotel.
