Structure

[edit]

The building was constructed as a Military Hospital at Mhow in 1866, under the British Army. In 1953, it was appropriated as the All-Arms Wing of the Army Signal Training School. It later housed the Headquarters of the Army Training Command (HQ ARTRAC) from 1991 to 1994. When ARTRAC moved to Shimla, the Army School at Mhow (now Army Public School) was then housed in this magnificent heritage building, since 1994, and still functions from there. The Army decided to demolish this heritage structure because its general maintenance is too expensive to maintain.
