Two Century-Old Infrastructure Buildings Mark Centenaries in Chennai
Two century-old buildings in Chennai's Mylapore and Santhome areas are marking their centenaries. A colonial-era TANGEDCO office building, dated 1927, will turn 100 in January 2027, while a pumping station at P.S. Sivaswami Salai, built in 1926, is celebrating its centenary this year. Both structures reflect the early infrastructure development by the Corporation of Madras, which initially managed electricity and drainage services. Despite their historic significance, these buildings remain largely unnoticed and uncelebrated.
