The House of MG is in the memory of Sheth
Mangaldas Girdhardas, amongst Ahmedabad's
foremost businessmen and philanthropist of
the 20th century. He started his career as
a store-keeper in a textile mill. He rose
through the ranks and wthin a decade, he was
over seeing an empire comprising of a clutch
of mills and other related businesses. With
his increasing affluence and stature in his
community, he decided to build this imposing
new residence in the centre of the city in
the year 1924. It sits across from the famous
Sidi Saiyed Jali. He died in 1928 and by 1950,
his entire family moved to another location,
leaving this house vacant. In 1994, it was
taken over by The Victoria Capital Ventures
Ltd. for renovation and reuse and over the
next ten years, it was painstakingly renovated
to what it is today. |
