The house is very nice. I love the double staircase.

Beautiful. And that's only the SIDE entrance?
Jerusalem also has a graceful Government House, built by the British in 1930. Until the end of the British Mandate in 1948, it was the residence of the High Commissioner of Palestine.
I think your raj lasted a lot longer than our Mandatory Period, yes?

The building does look classic to me, very grand with its white color.

Magnificent building. We're here in Kipling's Kim at the times of the Raj and the "big game".

When was this governor House built ?

Welcome Danny, I'v gotten a few requests for sites from Kipling's Kim will be posting pictures of The Famous gun Zamzamah soon and the museum where Kipling's father was a curator. In the mean time since you are at the governor house in Kipling's Kim i will post a picture of the interior today.

Sorry forgot to mention the Governor house was built around a Tomb in around 1870 at the beginning of the british Raj to house the chief executive of the provence.

As you know the people of Bhakkar district have elected a chief minister of Punjab and a prime minister of Pakistan on different occasions. Although a group of local leaders sponcer the occassion but basically the people of Bhakkar elected them and dream of a better Bhakkar. Please consider to upgrade Bhakkar as a division to provide better governance facilities in the area. Thanking you, Khwaja Aftab Ali, Florida, USA
