The colonial building of Ramanilayam is one of the finest guest houses in the country today in terms of its architectural magnificence, structural value and heritage significance. Due to many factors like age, weather conditions, etc. the condition of the structure had deteriorated gravely. Therefore, in order to bring it back to its former glory there was an immediate need to employ original methods of conservation which would aid in restoring the structure while maintaining the ambience of the experience. The building has hosted many significant dignitaries over the last 120 years. It is important that any such traditional structure is conserved using scientific conservation methodologies and materials as per international conservation norms.
