I was reading this blog and came across interesting aspects of migration from the rest of the world to Hyderabad . one such immigrant is Armenian Albert Abids who set up a departmental store in late 1800’s and is the origin of the name that we know today.

 

In 1939, the store was demolished and a cinema known as "Palace Talkies" was built in its place.Later in the 1980s this theater was also demolished and a new structure built in its place. Now this space is occupied by Big Bazaar(opposite to GPO)

other structures in that area include that stand today are:

The St. George's Grammar School (established in 1834), and adjoining St. George's Church(established in 1844)

In 1942, the headquarters of the State Bank of Hyderabad were established here. The Taj Mahal Hotel was built here in the 1950s.
