Sir Baron Jayathilaka Mawatha has the grandly restored Lloyd’s Buildings. Several other imposing colonial piles on the street are also in various stages of renovation, such as the neighbouring Whiteaways with its arched wooden windows. The regal air of when this was the fiscal heart of Ceylon is definitely returning.
