A house dating back to the early British colonial period
- Leyn Baan Street, Galle Fort
The house
The house on Leyn Baan Street holds a rich history: dating back to the early British colonial period, it has been home to four generations. The front veranda arch still stands as an architectural hallmark of the British colonial influence in the region. Brick walls and columns were later added to the structure, creating a unique blend of architectural elements. This renovation not only preserved the home's colourful past but also enhanced its overall beauty.
