Stephen Court builder's granddaughter in trauma
Kolkata, Mar 27 (PTI) Octogenarian Irene Harris, the granddaughter of
Arathoon Stephen who built Stephen Court and a resident of the
building, is in trauma after Tuesday's fire.
"The sight of her grandfather's building, built a century ago, in
flames left her worried and shaken and she went into a trauma,"
authorities of Sir Catchik Paul Chater Home, better known as Armenian
Home, in Park Circus where she and her husband have found refuge, told
PTI.
"What added to the shock was that the building caught fire on her
birthday," Peter Hyrapiet, president of Armenian Club located in
nearby Queens Mansions, said.
"She went to her flat in Stephen Court today to collect her
belongings," he said.
Eighty-four-year-old Irene whose grandfather, an Armenian businessman,
who also set up the Grand Hotel here, and her 89-year-old Englishman
husband Jimmy were in their second floor flat in the building when the
