The Residence, several buildings that housed and served colonial officials, was put under siege during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 against the British East India Company. The British regained control in 1858 but left the ruins as a memorial to their fallen compatriots. Photochrom is an ink-based process that produces color images from black-and-white photographic negatives.
