A century old structure.




This is a 100 years old structure in the heart of Chintamani, off double road, in front of Government Girls Middle School(boys high school few decades ago). This was built to provide water to the passersby, and was used to that purpose for a long time.The Government Girls high School which was called 'Musafir Kkana'(travellers bunglow) is just opposite to this structure,and the old bus stand adjucent to this.'Kurubara Akkayyamma Memorial-1909' is now surrounded by road side shops which blocks its view.When CC wanted to know the history of the structure, it strangely found that the records of this structure is not available with the government minicipal office.This probably is the oldest public structure in Chintamani? CC hereby requests its readers to provide any information that could throw light on this peace of building in Chintamani.
