Description
Wazir Mansion known officially as Quaid-i-Azam Birthplace Museum is a former family home in the Kharadar district of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan which is considered the birthplace of the country's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. It was built during 1860-1870 with stone masonry in lime and jute mortar to suit the volatile weather of Karachi. The actual birth place of Muhammad Ali Jinnah is Jhuri, a town in Thatta district, Sindh province. The house now serves as a museum and a national archive. The house where Mohammad Ali Jinnah spent 16 years of his childhood and youth is a precious national monument that provides inspiration to our nation. There used to be a Karachi Circular Railway station called Wazir Mansion. In 2009, Wazir Mansion was closed for renovation temporarily but was reopened for visitors later.
