HistoryThe Amir Mahal was constructed in 1798 by the British East India Company to house administrative offices of the company.[2] When the Carnatic kingdom was annexed by the Company in 1855 as per the Doctrine of Lapse, the Chepauk Palace, the official residence of the Nawabs, was auctioned off and purchased by the Madras government.[2] The Nawab moved to a building called Shadi Mahal on Triplicane High Road and lived there.[2] However, the British felt that the Shadi Mahal was "not a place fit for the residence of the Prince of Arcot" and granted him the Amir Mahal in Royapettah.[3] Robert Chrisholm was given the task of converting the office building into a palace.[3] In 1876, the Nawab moved in with his family into the Amir Mahal.[2] The mahal has since been the residence of the Nawabs of Arcot.[2] See also{{Portal|Chennai}}
