Butler palace is a grand palatial building, located in
Lucknow .
Foundation of this magnificent building was laid in 1915 by Sir Harcourt
Butler, the Deputy Commissioner of Awadh.
Initially built by Raja Mohammad Ali Mohammad Khan, it was later used by
Sir Harcourt as his residence. However, this impressive conglomeration of
three large buildings could only be partially built due to regular floods
on the Gomti River. Facing the palace, is a tank with beautiful canopies
and fountains.
