No longer occupied, this classical structure in the ‘Nallukettu’ style of architecture was built by an elder member of the family in the year 1786, for the women and minor boys of Paliam. It has a big courtyard at the centre with rooms and a ‘Purathalam’ (a common space for recreational activities, where the members gathered to chat.) surrounding it. There used to be a common dining hall and a common kitchen where all the members lived and dined together, under the protection of ‘Valiachan’ (the most elderly person in the family).
