| History / इतिहास | |
| Brief History / संक्षिप्त इतिहास | The almost 100 year old houses were built by Chaman Lal ji who was a local businessman and also was a contractor. The family however has moved to Delhi and the house remains almost in a derelict state due to that. The two houses have been separated by means of a wall with a connecting door. The present owner s an Education Officer family, bought this property a few decades ago. |
| Local / Traditional description associated with Built Heritage / Site निर्मित धरोहर / स्थल से सम्बंधित स्थानीय/ परम्परागत विवरण |
The area was one of the most affected ones during the Indian partition of 1947 and was badly destroyed in the earthquake of 2005. These events have therefore made a permanent and prominent impression on the people and also the urban fabric of the area and add, in unique ways, to the cultural essence of the place. |

The access to this house is the same as the Chaman Lal ji House which is in the form of an enormous entrance gateway. This opens out to a square courtyard around which the house is laid out. The two storey house is emphasized by a series of square columns on the ground floor that support the wooden balcony on the first floor. The original house has been extended to accommodate a modern kitchen and other ancillary rooms. |
