Description

Queen Mary's College (Tamil: இராணிமேரி கல்லூரி) is a government-run college in Chennai, India. Started in 1914, it is the first women’s college in the city and is one among the first three colleges for women in the country.[1] Originally the residence of Lt Col Francis Capper in the mid 1800s, the building later housed a hotel before becoming a college in 1914. Known as the Capper House, the building was preserved as a heritage building. The building was later demolished to construct a new administrative office for the college known as the Kalaignar Maaligai, which was inaugurated in July 2010.[1] The college is located on junction of Kamarajar Salai and Dr.Radhakrishnan Salai facing the Marina Beach.
