Lithograph of the Government House in the Fort in Bombay by Jose M. Gonsalves (fl. 1826-c.1842). Plate 2 from his 'Lithographic Views of Bombay' published in Bombay in 1826. Gonsalves, thought to be of Goan origin, was one of the first artists to practice lithography in Bombay and specialised in topographical views of the city.
The location of the Government House in Bombay changed several times. Originally, the Government House was located in Bombay Castle.
The second Government House, shown in this view, was situated in the fort area on Apollo Street and functioned as the official residence of the Governor until 1829.

from 'Views in the island of Bombay' by Charles Scott,1850s. This is a
view looking north along Apollo Street from the Apollo Gate towards
the dockyards entrance on the right. The Scotch Church stands in the
left foreground, with Hornby House beyond. The classic Georgian style
Saint Andrew's or Scotch Kirk was completed in 1819. Hornby House,
which initially began as a residence to the Governor Hornby, served as
the Law Court until the late 1870s when it became the Great Western
Hotel. Between this building and the church, stands the domed
Ice-House, erected by subscription in 1843 for the consignments of ice
which were imported regularly and sold to the public. When ice began to
be manufactured in Bombay the Ice-House lost its purpose and was used
as a godown until it was demolished years later.
