Dare House

Dare House is an iconic art deco building in Chennai, India which houses the offices of the Murugappa Group. Constructed between 1938 and 1940, it is named after William Dare, a partner of Parry & Co. from 1819 to 1838. Situated at the corner of Nethaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road where it forms a junction with Rajaji Salai overlooking Burma Bazaar and Chennai Harbour, the building is a prominent landmark and gives its name to the surrounding neighbourhood of Georgetown which is popularly known as Parry's Corner.
