Ramaswamy Iyer Subbier

(From Gomathy)

S Ramaswamy Iyer born in 1888 decided to set up practice in Madras (now called Chennai)and he had his law chambers in the High Court a landmark building in Madras built in the Moorish or Saracenic style. Quite a beautiful building. He was married at the age of 18 to his own cousin(his father's sister's daughter GOMATHY aged 9 at the time of her marriage.) He also built for himself, his young wife and three children a lovely red bricked 2 storeyed house in Mylapore with a drive way for his FORD car and a fountain in the middle of the courtyard. It was quite a fashionable house then where his 3 children grew up.
