Metcalfe Hall is a neo-classical columned building on the Hooghly riverfront in Kolkata, modelled after the Temple of the Winds in Athens. Now maintained by the ASI, it hosts exhibitions on the city's cultural history.
Built in 1844 by the Calcutta Public Library committee to honour Acting Governor-General Sir Charles Metcalfe, the hall was designed by C. K. Robinson. It became an ASI-protected monument in the 1960s.
