What was on the land before Rashtrapati Bhavan was built on it? Who was owner of the land?

Raisina Hill was owned by the Maharaja of Jaipur before it became the site of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. To commemorate Delhi as India's capital, Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh of Jaipur, at the time, gifted the Jaipur Column, which stands in the Rashtrapati Bhavan's forecourt.
