Freemasons Lodge Building, British colonial masonic building in Saddar district, Karachi, Pakistan.
The yellow sandstone structure features round pillars, a prominent wooden staircase, and displays architectural elements from Edwardian and Victorian periods.
Built in 1914 during British rule, the lodge functioned as a meeting place for Freemasons until 1972 when Pakistan banned the organization.
Local residents named the building 'jadoo ghar' meaning House of Sorcery, reflecting the mystery surrounding Freemason activities in the region.
The building now houses the Sindh Wildlife Department and contains a small library with exhibition spaces open for visits on Sunday mornings.
The first-floor hall maintains its original flooring pattern, similar to Hollywood masonic designs, with tablets commemorating founding members throughout the structure.
