Chowringhee district which is now located in central business district of Calcutta is well known as the living quater developed for the English high officials of East India Company. The residences in which the English live was called garden house. Many garden houses were built in Chowringhee district but is not so well preserved. One of the objectives of this paper is to record the distribution of the historical buildings left. The development process is firstly analysed by using the historical maps. We calcurate all the sizes of house lots and trace their transformation. As a result the consistent land subdevisional process are confirmed. The latter part of this paper discusses the present condition of the district. The contrast of high-rise condominium and street dwellers symbolized the district. The heritage of garden houses will be lost in the near future if land use system is reorganized appropriately.
