Since 1952 , the college has been housed in Shashi Lodge , a landmark building that sits on a property . The current Shashi Lodge is the second building by this name . The original was built by Maharaja Shurjokanto Acharya Chowdhury and named for his son , Shashikanto Acharya Chowdhury . After the original lodge was destroyed by fire due to the 1897 Assam earthquake , Shashikanto had it rebuilt at a cost of Taka 3 lakh , using materials and instruments imported from Paris . An unusual feature of the 24-room building is a musical staircase . On the grounds in front of the lodge there is a fountain that has as its centerpiece a stone statue of Venus bathing . Shashi Lodge has been used as a filming location for movies and television plays
