Raja Rajendra Mullick, a wealthy Bengali trader, erected the exquisite 19th century Marble Palace home in 1835. Apart from being a wealthy businessman, Raja Rajendra Mullick had a fondness for collecting pieces of art from the many places he traveled. His father, Sri Nilmoni Mullick, who had adopted Rajendra Mullick as his son, built the Jagannath temple within the grounds of the imperial home. The temple predates the estate and is still in excellent condition; nevertheless, it is only accessible to Mullick family members and is not open to visitors or tourists.

The Marble Palace Mansion is an architectural masterpiece that combines neoclassical features with traditional Bengali components as well as Chinese accents. It was constructed with high-quality Italian marble, giving the entire structure a majestic appearance. The palace is made up of 126 different varieties of marbles that were hand-picked from all over the country to create an architectural masterpiece.

Reception Hall, Painting Room, Sculpture Room, Billiards Room, and Thakur Dalan are the five halls that make up the palace (place of worship). The main façade is Neoclassical in style, with tall fluted Corinthian columns and bas reliefs, and leads into traditional Bengali courtyards. The "Thakur Dalan," which is located just adjacent to the courtyard, is a small place of worship for the family.

The palace's exquisite carvings on marble pillars, floors, and walls bear a striking resemblance to the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, another of the Seven Wonders of the World. Chandeliers, Victorian furniture, sculptures, and portraits adorn the enormous passageways. The verandas and balconies' fretwork is influenced by Chinese characteristics, and the sloping roofs are reminiscent of Chinese pavilions.
