The Government Offices were erected there in phases. The earliest portion, no longer extant, faced King Edward Place. The Government Offices eventually formed a "U" with the last section completed in 1907. This section is the only one still standing, as the rest were destroyed during the Second World War. It serves as the Islamic Council Building today.
