  Ribbon building is head quarters of Greater Chennai corporation. It is rectangular building with central tower clock. In 2012 massive restoration work started still works going on. New annexure building built with the name Amma maaligai. It has nice auditorium with capacity 500 persons. The 105 years old building is one of Chennai's attraction with history.

  My view is from an architect's perspective. An architectural Beauty. It is a fine example of the Neoclassical style of architecture, a combination of, Ionic and Corinthian. Should visit it once to appreciate it.

  Unexpectedly, the staffs are very helpful. They are eager to help. All we need is a little patience. The middle men will approach you when you roam around. They will tell u that they can do impossible things. Ignore them. You can do everything by yourself by directly speaking with the staff. And the building architecture is something to see.

  It is located at Chennai Central. Well connected by public transport system. A big building with several wings. I visited the Adhaar enrollment center here. Got little bit problem to locate the center due to language problem. All replied my Hindi or English enquiries in local language only. Inside the center also I found the same problem.
