Patna Secretariat is a mighty Victorian construction located to the east of the Raj Bhavan in Patna. Built by the Britishers in Indo-Sarcenic style, it was completed in 1917. It is 716 feet long 364 feet wide and remains one of the largest government buildings of the City. A huge clock tower stands tall amidst the beautiful and green lawn of the place. Originally, it was 198 feet high, but a part of it fell down during the massive earthquake of 1934. Currently, its height is 184 feet from the ground. A four-foot gap left between the concrete ceiling and the outer covering of tiles from Raniganj ensures a reasonable temperature in the interiors during the hot season.
