Documents on Sree Devi Vilas, Tharakad, Palakkad

The document placed below is an old handwritten draft application in English dated 06-12-1927 addressed to the The Chairman, Municipal Council, Palghat by Ottoor (Ottur) Sree Devi Amma in Tharakkad Street, Sekharipuram Ward. A rough sketch of the land and plot (1342 to 6) may also be seen in the sketch. The rought plan of the proposed house is given below this. This is how the original Sree Devi Vilas in Tharakad probably appeared. The Malayalam hand written lines on the right side of the document states that due to delay in obtaining Stamp paper the original application was sent only on 01-02-1928.

The second type written/printed document in English is an approval letter dated 16-02-1928 from the Chairman, Municipal Council, Palghat granting permission for the said construction
