| It's not as rickety as it looks! |
Even as staircases go out of fashion, here is a stairwell that I had to stop and admire the first time I saw it. At the Royal Bombay Yacht Club, where I was fortunate to stay a few times. Each time I have paid homage to this relic of bygone era, but so grand and aesthetic. Semi circular-ish in shape, it's sides are adorned with lovely stained glass windows and today as flower pots as additional adornments.
It is made of wood, and has a single elevator going up four floors. It has an operator at all times, and is rather slow compared to its modern counterparts. But once inside, it is oh so magical. Visit it, do next time you are at the Gateway.
