Quaid-e-Azam Residency, Colonial residence in Ziarat, Pakistan.
Quaid-e-Azam Residency is a wooden colonial building in Ziarat set at 2,500 meters elevation. It contains three bedrooms on the upper floor, staff quarters below, a museum section, and surrounding garden spaces.
The building was constructed in 1892 during British rule and became the final home of Pakistan's founding father. He lived there until his death in 1948.
The rooms display personal objects and photographs that show how the nation's founder lived day to day. You can see his belongings arranged as they were, giving a sense of his private life.
The rooms are furnished for viewing and garden areas are accessible, with museum displays showing letters, photographs, and other items. Keep in mind the high elevation means thin air and cool temperatures, especially in early morning and evening hours.
The building appears on Pakistan's 100-rupee banknote since 2006, reflecting its status as a national monument. The image on the currency shows it much as visitors see it today.
