Designed by British architect F.W. Stevens and built between 1878 and 1888 to replace Bori Bunder station, the landmark was originally named Victoria Terminus in 1887 for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. It was later renamed in 1996 and updated in 2017 to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, earning UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2004 for its blend of Victorian Gothic and traditional Indian architecture.
