HERITAGE
The House Jinnah built
KARACHI: The city has been blessed with a rich heritage of buildings but
as an unfortunate reality, most of these beautiful and distinctive
buildings now appear in a state of neglect.
It’s appreciable that our government is engaged in improving the city’s
infrastructure - as a number of flyovers, underpasses and parks are
being inaugurated all around the city. However, the majestic structures
of Karachi fail to attract the authorities’ attention.
The Quaid-e-Azam House Museum is one of the 600 buildings in town that
in 1997 became legally protected under the 1994 law after constant
efforts by the ‘Heritage Foundation’.
