Jagadbandhu Roy had gifted the building. There was also a hostel in it. Ashutosh Mukherjee laid the foundation stone on the 2nd building. In 1920, Calcutta Improvement Trust decided to directly connect Rosa Road and Ballygunge Junction railway station. The authorities decided to abolish the school building. Till 1929 the road was known as Main Sewer Road, then renamed to Ballygunge Avenue. In 1931, the road was again renamed after Rashbihari Ghosh, now Rashbehari Avenue. For this development, the school building was demolished and after a court case against Calcutta Improvement Trust, Calcutta Improvement Trust build the 4th and permanent building on 25th Fern Road.
