Work on restoring the 137-year-old Kipling House is near-completion and will be a sight for sore eyes in the next six months. Even as the bungalow is all set to get its original look back, three years after restoration work on it was started, mid-day gives you a quick dekko at the spanking interiors.

Since February 2016, the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, a state government department, has been restoring the bungalow. After completing the structural repair work, they ran out of funds. A fresh estimate of Rs 3.5 crore is being prepared for the remaining work and it would be submitted to the secretary of culture of Maharashtra next week. Once approved, the remaining work is expected to take four to six months.
