Chummery House also called Chamely House, was built in 1920. This English cottage type building is located in Dhaka opposite the high court building. It was designated to be the residence of unmarried British women officials working in Dhaka. Although fairly old, it still retains its original architectural form. The building served as a hostel of girl students of the University of Dhaka for some time. During the Pakistan period and for some time after independence of Bangladesh, it was used as headquarters of the Public Service Commission.In 1985, the building was handed over to the Centre for Integrated Rural Development of Asia and the Pacific (CIRDAP) and the building is now known as the CIRDAP House.
A British architect “Robert Luis Proudolk” has designed the overall layout of that area (Karzon Hall, Ramna garden, Court buildings), guy has designed that building too. Whoever it was, undoubtedly was a consummate architect. It is a cottage type of building which looks like the other British buildings around the world.
The building was renovated during 2006 by replacing the tiles from the roof top. Originally it was made of red slats (we people used to call this “red tali”). During the renovation, unfortunately we didn’t take any special care to retain the antiquity and the modification didn’t go 100% with primordial design.
This Colonial edifice is locate at the Topkhana (তোপখানা) Road of Dhaka. It is at the opposite side of the Old High Court building, beside the National Press Club. Also opposite of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The exact coordinate of the Chammely House is (23°43’45.25″N, 90°24’19.93″E). There is a circle in front of the Chummery house, people used to call that as Kodom Fowara (কদম ফোয়ারা) circle.
