Bibiyapur Kothi, the royal building was built by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula (A.D.1775-97). The double storeyed structure was simple but attractive in design, consisting of spacious halls, high ceilings with wooden beams and rafters, spiral stair cases and imposing double columns. The large hall was tastefully embellished with white and blue European tiles. The building is constructed on a rectangular ground plan with lakhauri bricks laid in lime mortar and coated with thick lime plaster. After the annexation of Avadh in 1856 AD, the place was frequently used by the British, particularly by army officials for various celebrations.
