HistoryThe British Colonial Government of Ceylon constructed several Class “A” type quarters to house government officials along Bullers Road. These houses have a large drawing room, dining room, office room and four large bedrooms. These quarters are semi-detached, being divided by a hollow wall to prevent the passage of sound. Special attention have been given to ventilating the rooms, each house was provided with electric lights, fans, bells, modern sanitary fittings and was connected to the water-carriage system. In 1941, during world war 2, then Chief Justice, John Curtois Howard moved into one of these houses, after his former government house been demolished to construct the war time air field at the Colombo Racecourse. Since then most of the serving Chief Justice's used this house as their official quarters, while some preferred to stay in their private residences.[1] References1. ^Chief Justice sacked Termination letter delivered, her reaction unknown {{coord missing|Sri Lanka}}{{SriLanka-struct-stub}} 6 : British colonial architecture in Sri Lanka|Chief Justices of Sri Lanka|Government buildings in Colombo|Houses in Colombo|Official residences in Sri Lanka|World War II sites in Sri Lanka |
