Description

As Mr Francis  bought the Lodge in 1775, and sold it to Mr Livius for Rs. 30,000 in April,1780, it is not likely that he lived in any other suburban residence during his sojourn in India.In Colonel Mark Wood’s map “of the country and the banks of the Hooghly from Calcutta of  Ooloobareah,” and in Colonel Call’s map,dated 1786, the names of residents in many of the suburban houses are given, and that of Mr. Francis is attached to the house on the site indicated.
