OLD M.C.H OFFICE “We can't all leave a prestigious background or lots of money to visit our children, but we can leave them a legacy of love” - Naomi Rhode
The head office of the Municipal Corporation, which is now shifted to Tank Bund, was earlier located in this building. The office was originally housed in Ameen Bagh, which was the residence of Mohammad Ameen, Prime-Minister of Sultan Abdulla Qutb Shah (1626-1672). The office was shifted to DarusShifa in 1906 during the tenure of A H Stevason who was the superintendent of the municipal department. The portion of the building facing west and the Aza Khana-eZahra is a new construction.
