130-year old family home of the Bhattacharya family.
Pandit Kashinath Bhattacharya came to Serampore from Debipur, another village town of Hooghly on the request of Vidyasagar to teach Sanskrit. He settled in Dey St, but he died untimely. His son, Durga Prasanna became a building contractor and built this ancestral home for his family at 21 Dey Street. He was very fancy at his time, he founded a zoo inspired from Raja Rajendra Mullick's Marble Palace & the zoo. He also has a good number of dogs and won several trophies in the Dog Shows.
