Indian Red Cross Society building: The man known as 'adhi Dilli ka maalik, owner of half of Delhi' and who constructed much of Delhi in his lifetime, Sir Sobha Singh built the Indian Red Cross Society building on Red Cross Road, a stone's throw from Parliament. Sobha Singh also built Connaught Place, Modern School, St. Columbus School, The National Museum and the list goes on. Everywhere you turn on a majestic road in New Delhi, you will see a landmark building built by him.
