History

The history of Martin Burn Limited, generally referred to as Martin & Burn Co. goes back to 1890, when Sir Rajen Mookerjee in partnership with Sir Thomas Acquin Martin started the firm named Martin Co..[2]

Martin & Co, has to its credit of building waterworks at Tripura, Palta, Ahmedabad, Lucknow and Benares. But its major contribution are architectural marvels like Esplanade Mansion, Standard Chartered Building, South Eastern Railway Headquarters in Garden Reach, Tipu Sultan Mosque, Patna Secretariat and Ujjayanta Palace. Towards the high point of its career in 1904 the firm was awarded the contract of building the Victoria Memorial, which was completed in 1921.[2][3] Many of these buildings have been declared Heritage monuments.

Another construction firm, Burn & Co which was founded as Burn & Currie by Alexander Burn in 1809 and had the experience of building many an important structures in Calcutta like St. Andrew’s Church (1818), the 152 high Ochterlony Monument (1828) was taken over by Rajen Mookerjee in 1927 and the two together went on dotting the city with buildings like St. Xaviers’ College (1934–40), Oriental Seminary, Belur Math (1932), the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission, Darbhanga House the Calcutta residence of Darbhanga Raj, Assembly House, Grand Hotel Arcade, United Bank Buildings, New Secretariat Building, Club House at Eden Gardens – the list is endless.[2][4] The city of Kolkata - is sometimes also referred to as Martin Burn City for this reason.[4]

The two companies were merged to form present day Martin Burn Limited in 1946.[1][2][5]

Sir Rajen Mookerjee along with Martin & Co. promoted Indian Iron & Steel Co. in year 1918.[6] Later in 1936,the two of the group companies - namely, Bengal Iron Company and IISCO with Martin & Co and Burn & Co as the respective agents got merged to forge a strong unit.[6]

Present status
