History
TMTC is housed in a gracious heritage structure, designed by renowned architect George Wittet, on rambling grounds surrounded by leafy trees, lawns, pathways and flower beds. The 15 acres of land on which TMTC stands once belonged to leading solicitor F. E. Dinshaw. In 1918, Mr. Dinshaw acquired the services of Mr. Wittet, the then consulting architect to the Government of Bombay, to build him a country home. Additional suites were designed by Daraius Batliwala and Rustom Patell of Patell Batliwala & Associates In the 1960s, it was restored and turned it into a residential training centre though the original layout remains the same.
