The Quaid-e-Azam House, also known as Flagstaff House, is a museum dedicated to the personal life of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of modern Pakistan. Located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, it is the former home of Jinnah, who lived there from 1944 until his death in 1948. His sister, Fatima Jinnah lived there until 1964. The building was acquired in 1985 by the Pakistani government and conserved as a museum.
Famous quotes containing the word house:
“[My father] was a lazy man. It was the days of independent incomes, and if you had an independent income you didn’t work. You weren’t expected to. I strongly suspect that my father would not have been particularly good at working anyway. He left our house in Torquay every morning and went to his club. He returned, in a cab, for lunch, and in the afternoon went back to the club, played whist all afternoon, and returned to the house in time to dress for dinner.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
