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:
“Amidst the downward tendency and proneness of things, when every voice is raised for a new road or another statute or a subscription of stock; for an improvement in dress, or in dentistry; for a new house or a larger business; for a political party, or the division of an estate;Mwill you not tolerate one or two solitary voices in the land, speaking for thoughts and principles not marketable or perishable?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
