Not so long ago, a social media post about the demolition of an old house in Tiruvalla, now a service villa in Thiruvalla became the talk of the town. Town folk called it CVM House or the house of the late Mr. C. V. Mathew. “Mathechan”, as he was affectionately called, was an inspirational man whose pioneering work led to the establishment of CVM and Deepa Theatres, the earliest cinemas of Tiruvalla town. His father, the late Mr. V. Varkey, popularly known as “Varkey Vakeel”, had purchased this land 140 years ago, after donating his inheritance to the Marthoma Church.
The same compassion empowered his son to construct the hundred-year-old heritage building it currently is. As the name stayed on, so did its legacy amongst the local crowd in Tiruvalla. As a homage to this honour, the family decided to restore the house to its former glory, with the folklore still reverberating within its many walls. Today, CVM House is a service villa in Thiruvalla with its beckoning traditional charm, resplendent green gardens and a team of friendly and competent staff.
