British Architecture in Abbottabad , Pakistan

Abbottabad located between the high mountains of  Hazara Division of NWFP   was ones a stronghold of British Army in early 18th  and 19th century .Abbottabad was selected as a home and army mess for many Britishers as it was requirement in that time to have a Army strong hold near the most tensed area of that time  , yeah it was Khyber Pass area ,

in that British  regime  ,some prominent buildings / barracks were constructed which still remain the part of Abbottabad but are in endangered condition .

there was a good relation between locals and British Army men that time which can be judged by fact that city “Abbott-Abad ” was named after A great Abbott.

after recent earthquake many old buildings are endangered Gov and municipal Admins must have to pay a bit attention to this situation of Hazara region will loose a major part of its heritage.

Another Endangered House
