Located at the intersection of Veer Nariman Marg and SA Brelvi Road, Elphinstone Building was designed by Rienzi Giesman Walton (1842-1900). As a municipal engineer, Walton executed several landmark projects in Mumbai, notably the Elphinstone Circle Garden, Northbrook Garden, Hanging Gardens at Malabar Hill, and Colaba Market, among many others.
The Town Hall has extended overhangs that cover the doors and windows. They are protected from rain during the monsoon season. The overhangs are made of decorative wooden panels and supported on brackets. The window blinds are made from horizontal wooden slats (Venetian blinds), giving protection from the scorching sun during summer.

The building was constructed in 1924 on the location of the Bank of Bombay (now the premise of State Bank of India), which was the first building erected on the Circle. The building is one of many establishments owned by the Parsi community in and around the Horniman Circle.
St Thomas Cathedral has been a historic landmark within the Fort premise, from which Churchgate derives its name. The foundation stone of the church was laid in 1676, although the current building was consecrated for divine service on Christmas Day, 1718. It is the first Anglican church in Mumbai and at 300 years and counting, one of the oldest buildings in Mumbai.
The HSBC Building was built in 1913 in a Neo-Classical style by the architectural firm Chambers & Fritchley. In 2007 and 2017, the building was carefully restored by Abha Narain Lambh Associates. The project involved the careful restoration of its basalt and limestone facades, night illumination, and restoration of its historic staircase, among other changes.
