It contained several excellent instruments. On the death of Wilcox in 1847, the establishment was dismissed, and the instruments disappeared during the Mutiny. It was said that once a brass pillar stood in central chamber through the roof. The building was the headquarters of the Maulvi Ahmad-ullah Shah of Faizabad during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and the insurgent council frequently held its meetings there.[2] Later it was occupied by the Imperial Bank of India, being restored for use as a bank but, in October 1923, it was flooded for 15 days. Mr. Davis then the occupant bank manager, his staff and clients used boats to ferry them back and forth. Some years later, it was used for as a local court of civil justice. Martin Gubbins described it as a handsome classical design building, protected by a regular guard of native infantry.
