A. Jinnahs daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren have been residents, to this day, of the province of Gujarat and Bombay.

Quaid e azam birth place
Amazing historical place.
This place is well maintained. The historical place is remembered as the birth place of the founder of Pakistan - Quiad-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. It is closed on sunday. You must visit this place whenever you get a chance.
The amount spend and considering that it is the Birth place of Father of Nation I rated this place 3. It should be more vibrant and its surrounding should be crystal clean which is opposite.
It was an auspicious day of December 25, 1876, when the founder of our homeland, i.e. Pakistan, was born.[1] Wazir Mansion now may be the widely accepted birthplace of Quaid-e-Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Once, his birthplace was misunderstood to be Jhirk, an old small town near Karachi, which was later revealed to be untrue. The reality was disclosed in the book My Brother written in the 1960s by Muhammad Ali Jinnahs sister, Fatima Jinnah in his biography wherein she described the salient features of her brothers life. She mentioned their ancestral village, Paneli, in the state of Gondal, Kathiawar, in the province of Gujarat, in present-day India. Their father, Mr. Jinnah Bhai Poonja, had settled in Karachi because of a business partnership with an English Merchant company named Grams Trading Company, whose office was then located in Karachi.[3] Jinnahs ancestral family and their progenies including M. A. Jinnahs daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren have been residents, to this day, of the province of Gujarat and Bombay. Muhammad Ali Jinnahs father got the house (now Wazir Mansion) for rent in 1874 and settled here for some time. By 1900, he again returned to his native state, Gujarat, British India.[4] Gowardhan Das was also among the owners of this building from whom Wazir Ali Ponawala (from whom the house had got its name Wazir Mansion) bought it at some point in 1904.

Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah Birth Place Karachi
The birthplace of Quaid-e-Azam is worth a visit.
Memorial day when I visit here
Wazir Mansion is located in Kharadar. The place is secured by Pakistan Rangers which was a pleasant surprise. The exterior of the building is largely intact and maintained. Upon entering, the caretakers ask for CNIC and strangely if you are from karachi or not. The ground floor is empty with nothing to show. On the first floor, there is Quaids library. His large collection of law books and his study table. Further inside, there is a bedroom where Mohammad Ali Jinnah was given birth. The bed is intact. However, the sofas are in need of repairs.On the second floor, we were welcomed by stench emanating due to wet carpets i guess. However, the room contains relics used by the Quaid himself. His clothing, shoes to this day look extraordinary. His famous monocle and smoking pipe are also in this room.All in all a treat for someone who has interest in Quaid-e-Azam and the history of that place

Its a big office building with 100 plus offices.
Good old historical bldng
Could manage a visit on Wednesday when Wazir mansion is closed but even then there was rush & congestion on narrow streets. Although most of the people were on foot or bikes. A mosque on left side of this building. At Kharadar, situated in old Karachi, a typical aura gives you a nostalgic feeling.. There is lot more to see and experience in Kharadar. On next visit I will go there on foot & not on Wednesday. #Heritage #HistoryPakistan #ParkingIssues #Monument
