Abstract
This paper identifies the railway administrative buildings built in Lahore during British Colonial Period. It explores the planning concepts and architectural features of the buildings at individual level and compares them together for critical architectural analysis. The paper concludes that the major thrusts behind the railway administrative buildings were related to climatic considerations, building structure and overall statement of the buildings. The study would be useful for the professional working on the conservation of railway administrative buildings of British India particularly, and British Colonial architecture, in general.
