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:
“For splendor, there must somewhere be rigid economy. That the head of the house may go brave, the members must be plainly clad, and the town must save that the State may spend.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
