Shimla, July 9 - Now one can visit the historical Barnes Court which houses the Raj Bhavan (Governor's House) in the Himachal Pradesh capital with the click of a mouse.

'People will now have access to the activities and important events taking place in the Raj Bhavan through website (http://www.himachalrajbhavan nic.in.) that was launched by state Governor Prabha Rau Wednesday,' a senior official of the Raj Bhavan told IANS.

This elegant building, constructed in 1832, was the residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab during British rule, with Sir Louis Dane its first occupant.

'The website has a collection of photographs in the photo gallery, covering different facets of this heritage structure along with important events which have taken place here, including the 175th anniversary celebrations of Barnes Court,' the official said.

The historic Simla agreement between India and Pakistan was inked in this building after the 1971 war.

The website also contains the history of Peterhoff, the old building housing the Raj Bhavan, which was gutted in a fire on Jan 12, 1981.

Then governor Aminuddin Ahmed Khan could barely manage to escape the flaming building.
