Situated at the junction of Rabindra Sarani and Madan Mohan Tala Street, this house dates back to 18th Century. The house belonged to Gokul Mitra who acquired the Chandni Chawk Bazar in a lottery in 1784. It has a temple of Madan Mohan and a large 'thakur-dalan' with columns rising to second storey.
