View of Maharashtra Police Headquarter, Mumbai

View of the Maharashtra Police Headquarter, formerly known as the Royal Alfred Sailor's Home, commemorated the visit of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, to the city in 1870. It was the first monumental building constructed at Wellington Circle between 1872 - 76. Built to house 78 seamen, this heritage property was designed by Frederick William Stevens using local high-quality stone in an early or 'domestic' Gothic style of architecture. Positioned near the coast, this building benefited from ventilation by the sea air. To further cool the interior, the structure was encased within a deep corridor.

This building is a part of 'The Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai', a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was inscribed to the list on June 30, 2018.
