The magnificence of the house lies not just on its impressive facade, that is visible from the front yard. Much of its grandeur is also due to the courtyard spaces, elaborate ornamentation, elegant motifs, large windows, and ceilings with wooden beams. The building was built over various periods of time, and yet its entire composition will remind its visitors of early 20th-century Dhaka.
The project “Hidden Heritage: Homes in Dhaka” forms part of a larger research framework on “Silent Heritage: Buildings in Bangladesh” focusing on homes and other significant buildings, from the rural to the urban, and from the Mughal to the Modern.
