Mayo College, Ajmer, India - 1879


The Main Building of Mayo College was designed by Major Mant in the Indo-Saracenic style popularised by Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob, the state engineer of Jaipur. For the construction of the Mayo College Main Building, several designs were submitted in the Indo-Saracenic, Grecian and Kolhapur styles by architects, and Mant's Indo-Saracenic design was adopted by the Viceroy in June 1875. 

The construction began in 1877 and was completed in 1885 at a cost of RS. 3.28 lakhs. Mant’s design became a classic symbol of Indo-Saracenic architecture.
