Located near Kirti Stambh, this building was started in 1936 & was used as hostel for poor Maratha Students, started to commemorate Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III.
It is said that Baroda State Soldiers made this building worth Rs 50000, during reign of Pratapsinhrao Gaekwad and it was dedicated in name of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III.
The building is simple and has 3-5 rooms on ground floor where as on the 1st floor it has more than 12 rooms. The building also has “Pratap” sabhagruh in name of Pratapsinhrao Gaekwad. A bust of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III can also be seen outside buildings entrance on 1st floor.
